Rainbows are a beautiful and powerful symbol

Seven Hues of Hope

by Peter Jarvis

A symphony of light, a painted arc so bright

Rainbow's birth, a magical, incredible sight

Sunlight's kiss on tiny droplets of rain

A prism's spectacular vibrant strain

Through sparkling drops the light begins to bend

Each colour now forming, a journey to transcend

Red, orange and yellow, a spectacular, delightful start

Then green, blue, and indigo to surely touch the heart

Violet is last a bluish-purple soft and deep

A spectrum's dance, where secrets seem to sleep 

Refraction's art, a reflection's gentle hand

A rainbow's magic, across the misty land

From sun-kissed skies touching beads in the air

An astonishing sight a wonder to declare.

A reminder to mankind of nature's hidden grace

A rainbow’s colourful smile, enveloping the earth's embrace

A Rainbow writing prompt entry
Writing Prompt
Write a poem of any kind about a rainbow.


Rainbows hold a sense of magic and wonder, often inspiring awe and a sense of the unknown. Rainbows are a beautiful and powerful symbol. Even at my age (75) the sight of a rainbow is something I just stare at as if I was 5 years old.
