Such A Lovely Rainbow Poem by Valerie Dohren

Such a lovely rainbow arced
Across the azure sky
So many pretty colours
To captivate my eye

A spectrum of enchantment
A magical display
One of nature's precious gifts
Unfolded here today

Magnificent, resplendent
With raindrops dancing there
Through which the light refracted
To birth a vision fair

With red and orange, yellow
Green, blue and violet
The colours of the rainbow
Upon the sky were set

I looked in awe and wonder
At this soft coloured light
Then like a mystic phantom
It faded out of sight

With heavy heart I pondered
Where did those colours go
To once again recapture
A lovely rainbow show
