Hello mystery writer. It was an interesting technique to me that you used. Stanza one and two were both about individuals. Stanza three completed the poem with what two can do together. Nice job. Good luck in the contest.

A very well-written poem about a special rainbow coloured surf board the surfer carries while walking to find the perfect waves to ride, when he is caught in the rain it becomes his rainbow umbrella.

A touching and inspiring poem of love and optimism.
Before I saw your poem, when I'd only read the title 'I carry my rainbow',
a neat line hit me: Some people carry umbrellas, I carry a rainbow.
See? I told you it was inspiring.

Best of luck.

Peace, Lee

A nicely written and a deftly engineered narrative, written in a differently rhymed the from convention norms, a language sound post that's a winner in this contest, the smooth narrative is not only well scribed, But has an ballad rhyme scheme, abcb well done, good look, blessings, Roy

This is a sweet little romantic poem. The picture is an interesting choice because it doesn't fit the poem exactly. The surfing metaphor would fit the first and last verses, but not the middle one.

    Thanks for your comments. The poem is more about the rainbow (feeling good - happiness), rather than surfing, so the rainbow theme is carried through the poem. The metaphor is the rainbow, not the surfboard.
