Color Me A Rainbow

Why don't you color me a rainbow
Give me all your brilliant hues
All your pretty pinks of pleasure
Your calming, ever peaceful blues

Why don't you show me your hot red passion
The earthy brown of your inner warmth
Make me blush with your sunshine yellow smile
Brighten me with your spontaneous orange

Why don't you color me a rainbow
Give me your indigo summer breeze
Dazzle me with your royal violets
Shade me with your open greens

Why don't you give me all your colors
I'll be a canvas just for you
So dip that paintbrush deep inside your soul
And show me what you can do

Author's Note

Fantastic!!!! I like the imagery, write the picture only your mind can see.

[Adelia Alighieri]

Wow this is very elegant and artistic. I completely adore the invitation in the first and last stanza. Very good.

The theme is wonderful... amazing how u worked it out so smoothly...

A really edifying and well-executed concept which I enjoyed very much. Using the rainbow spectrum to illustrate the positive points of human nature through similes is really effective and entertaining. The poem has a kind of song-like quality to it - particularly come the last verse, which has a rock and roll feel to the phraseology and rhythm.
Fashioning all the colours as a code or key to represent all the aspects of the subject really works very well, and the technique is very good indeed. A textbook example of poetry in this form. Really good.

This is Groovy...you rose to the color-challenge very eloquently...

[Gracie-San]

This was very creative and unique. You most definitely utilized every color of the rainbow and used enough description to make it subtle but not over the top. Not to mention, it was simple and oh, so, sweet.

I loved it. :)

I'm making up for reviews I haven't returned. So you may get a few from me depending :). OK, I loved this poem. The rhymes were great, the imagery was even greater. This was a fantastic poem. Don't give up on writing. You're great at it.
