This is a very creative and instinctive work. Very artistically done to match the theme. There is no doubt, it earned its victory. Very well chosen words.

Nice use of colors for the rainbow of the poem. You mix nature with human nature well. Yes a child's smile gives happiness and peace like seeing a rainbow after a storm.

Congratulations on the win.

Keep writing

Comment from Jeanie Mercer

Excellent

This is a lovely haiku, so appropriate as a Rainbow Writing Prompt entry. "Rainbow" is a recognized summer kigo. You use excellent concrete sensual imagery in every line, and the satori, "child smiles," is charming and valid: I do believe a child always smiles at the sight of a rainbow. Best of luck in the contest, Jeanie Mercer

I enjoyed your poem about the rainbow. It reminds me how as a child I would always smile when I saw a rainbow, still do. :) I also liked how you colored the words as a rainbow, nice effect. Best of luck to you in the contest, Shirley

What a wonderfully written haiku. It's true to traditional haiku form, save for the allusion to children, and so beautifully presented with the accompanying photo and rainbow colored fonts.
Just a wonderful piece of poetic art.

This one made even me smile. :)

Well done, and best of luck to you in the voting.

Respectfully

Comment from I am Cat

Excellent

Nicely color coded...
very nice word choices...
I would have liked to have seen the
last line continue the colors...
with 'a child' (yellow) and 'smiles (green)...
it would have continued the rainbow...
(for me)... but then, it's not my poem. LOL
Good luck in the contest.
