A Gasping and a Groaning

November 4, 2008

There is a gasping and a groaning,

And the grinning of the cats

Can be seen from a mile away

There’s a rhythm to the rainbows

That take turns in the sky

Every other sunny day.

 

The gasping and the groaning

Comes from underneath our feet

And is heard from above the ground

And the pattering sweet patterns

Of the rain upon the grass

Heals this constant and terrible sound.

Lack of coherency here. What is "a rhythm to the rainbows?" And what on earth do lines 7-9 mean? What makes the pattering sweet patterns of the rain upon the grass? What is this terrible constant and terrible sound. I have no clue to be honest. Wish I would know.

To Ethan: I don't know either. This just rolled off my head one day and is probably more phonetic than meaningful. I find it as intriguing and confusing as you do. Thanks for trying to understand this!
