Rainbows

Kaleidoscope of many colours

Stretching right across the sky

Forever painted in our minds

Here one moment, then vanished.....why?

Red and orange start the pattern

So rich and strong for all to see

Wonderful yellow follows next

Echoing the sun so perfectly

Green and blue, the colours of the earth

Orbiting the bright hues of the sun

Reminding me of the river of life

Showing us that rainbows are fun

Indigo and violet follow next

Colours of peace and relaxation

Complete this wonderful view

Filling our hearts with elation

All seven colours hung on display

Such a beautiful painting to see

Vibrant colours of the rainbow

Arched across the sky for you and me.

I wrote this poem while sat in the lobby of The Gilmore in Memphis.  

My friend Dale had talked about rainbows and that it would be a great subject to write a poem.

It was so cool and peaceful sat there and I enjoyed the experience and solitude
