The Rainbow

A thank you poem to a friend

Thank you for the gift of a rainbow

At at time when my life was low

It was cold and grey and dull

I had let it get into a lull

But then you burst on the scene

And said it's ok to have a dream

You took your palete of colours

And said have faith in others

You make it clear to see

There is so much I could be

You took the grey and blue

And changed them for a better hue

You gave me rose tinted glasses

And greens the colour of grasses

My world has been painted

That had for so long been tainted

Golden sun till noon 

followed later by a silver moon

these are the colours you made me see

So I thank you again for the wonderful gift

It has brought me such joy and lift

Thank you for banishing strife

And giving me back a colourful life

I really liked it! Who knew colors were all around... and that they could make such poems like this one? Very creative. Your imagery is just great. I can see every single thing you're descibing here. A thank you poem ehh? Well done, that friend sure is lucky. I love the fact that it rhymes. Not everyone can do that. Still having trouble with the word orange. Overall, I loved this poem!
