A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicoloured arc. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the sun.
refraction:the fact or phenomenon of light, radio waves, etc., being deflected in passing obliquely through the interface between one medium and another or through a medium of varying density.

The formatting of your words added a lot to this write, E. Yes, we are a rainbow at the cafe....we come from all over the world, are all colors, and religions. We come together because we love words...and it works. If only the world could find a common ground like this. We are a rainbow. I tried to watch the video, but science class was never my favorite so I did not get through it all. Liked the line, "It's okay to be smart."....yup! Great presentation. Lydi**

Einstein Noodle,
Your rainbow poem was very informative and the note as well. I really found this a respective way to address this amazing phenomenon so beautiful! Your writing is so philosophical and scienific all at the same time! Thanks for this amazing poem! Kathy

Well, E. we are all bits of the rainbow, bent and pushed until we are that mosquito in amber. This café is a place for old writers to help the younger ones and hopefully pass on a little knowledge. Good write

I like your unique blend of scientific examination with poetic expression, especially interesting in your message here becuz we always feel so "touched" when we spot a rainbow, like it's a divine message or an uncommon coincidence. I also love the idea of rainbow café (as Lydia points out) becuz of the multi-colored ideas & experiences we share here at the Café! *wink! wink!* (((HUGS)))

But just going through a lot for personal reasons I'm going back to Iowa February 2017 but when I can I'll read more. Stay safe and blessed friend
obliqueness is poetry, and poetry is a rainbow reaching across the skies of many countries...here at the cafe, we all co-exist quite nicely...peace on earth in the writings we share...why can't it be that way with people in general...why can't everyone get along, listen to and acknowledge each other like we do here?
Beautifully written and true, as Lydi said. ~Sharon

I'm struggling with the format, myself, but that's just my OCD and need for straight lines and order. I really like the concept of the poem though! Comparing the Café to a rainbow is cool because we all have our own colors here. We all reflect on life in our own ways, the way light refracts and reflects in a rainbow. And we bring a little more beauty into the world because of those things... I believe I'm getting a bit sentimental... But I won't hide my sweetness; I think the variety in the Café is beautiful
