A very well-written 5-7-5 poem and a very wise little granddaughter to figure out the rainbow only appears after the rain. So wait for the rain, get the umbrella and search for the rainbow.

I like this! You have a good choice of words to describe something you tell your granddaughter (or something your grandmother told you).
Very wise words and I love the title. Great artwork you chose!! Very colorful and it suits this poem because it makes me think these words are for a grandCHILD. Well done!

This 5-7-5, Rainbow Rain, has the right set up and makes the observation that rain, the downside of weather, is a basic requirement for a rainbow of redemption.

There you go. So true. Without rain there would be no rainbows. A good reminder to take the good with the no-so-good. I like the illustration. Best of luck in the contest. Marilyn

This is why I love children: they are so smart and notice EVERYTHING! I hope your granddaughter helps you win this contest. Please tell her, for me, that she brought nothing but sunshine to my day with these words of wisdom. xo

"Into every life a little rain must fall."
You can't have a rainbow unless you also have rain.
Your granddaughter sounds like a very intelligent young lass.
Now I have a quote you can share with her if you like:

Best wishes to you in the contest.
~Dean

This is a very powerful statement that should be on some plaques you can buy online or at the mall. You did a great job and your picture adds to the point you make quite well.
