Actually, I didn't know most of what is in your verse. I love rainbows but I have always accepted them as something beautiful God has given us as a covenant. I am dismayed at how a rainbow is being portrayed today but I still claim them as my God's promise.

Very informative.

    And I as well, that earth shall never be covered completely in water again, but I fear what the next repercussion will be for we haven't as yet consider obeying the laws written in stone.

Author,
I really like your two-color poem about rainbows. It is very informative and entertaining. I did not know certain things about this phenomena.
Great work!
Good luck in the contest.
Cindy

    Believe it or not, I speak the truth, when the wife and I gave chase to find its end, riding on a country road, and we queried it seems to be getting close when in a flash it ran across the hod of our pickup and got gone.

You have a quite unique style of writing, almost conversational. It sits well with your theme here, and it reads almost like a little lesson. We;ll done. Best wishes for your entry.

    I have been suspected of being an olio; a stew, a mix of this and that. Sometimes I am tender and tasty, at others chewy and grisly. Even I am bewildered as what rolls from the iters of my mind. This morning I awoke to a saying of Stan Laurel: "I forgot what I came to forget." There a piece of writing somewhere in there.

Your 'drops of knowledge' have been refracted on the way to form a rainbow, always a nice sight to see. Knowledge explains things scientifically, but I prefer to think of them as magic indicators of pots of gold.

    Leave it to the Irish to begin a myth: where it was said that "fairies put a pot of gold coins at the end of each rainbow with leprechauns guarding it." But we love them all the same... the Irish not the little men in green!

I had no idea a rainbow could appear as a full circle. This whole piece was informative and entertaining. Thank you for sharing the results of your research here. Best wishes to you!

Till I read your rainbow
Now my life through that prismis a colour rainbow indeed.
I wonder what mnemonically means.

And a rocket hanging from the end of it. :-))Z.

    This was supposed to be an entry for SHORT and COLORFUL. I felt I released it there but it doesn't show up. Wrote to CONTACT HQ, I guess. No response yet. I have saved and see it listed on Page 3 #86 but again the contest does not show it. Any suggestions?

Very clever Tom. I didn't know that and never thought of it before but now I do and I love your poem. It's so bright and colorful. It flows well and creates vivid imagery.
