Subject: [stylist] rainbow poems


Does  anyone know any good rainbow poems?  I have fun writing one now and  
then but mainly they are too silly or stupid to post.  I guess they are  
just 
my way of keeping the creative juices flowing.  Alphabet poems and  rainbow 
poems are my fall-back topics when nothing else is  working.

Here is a rainbow poem I can share because it’s probably the  first one I 
wrote and it wasn’t a “writing for writing’s sake”  poem.


THE RAINBOW'S CHILD

by Barbara  Hammel



GOD, I know one thing is true.

It is that You love  me so.

So much that You created

My life within the  rainbow.





The life-giving blood that

Flows from toe  to head,

The anger that I sometimes feel

Are in the color  red.





The fire of life burns in my soul

As orange  as it can be;

And courage to face what's yet to come

With strength  and bravery.





Yellow is joy and happiness

That come  to fill each day

And sunshine and the warmth of love

Toward all  who come my way.





Tranquility and serenity

Survive  through hard times that I've seen;

And that peace of mind I find in  them

Is in the color green.





Tears I cried in  sorrow when

There seemed to be no one but You;

A broken heart, and  spirit, and character

Are in that streak of  blue.





The hard reality of always saying

Good-bye  to all that one holds dear;

Like depression, it's the bottom,

That  purple which sometimes isn't clear.





I thank You, God, for  making me

A child of the rainbow;

Something I can only  be

Because You love me so.






Poetry is an echo,  asking a shadow to dance. -- Carl  Sandburg
