       I wonder why
people still stop and stare,
     awed by its beauty

   When they should realise
    that all is a deception,
     a fruitless illusion
  which sneers and disappears,
    playing them for fools

well now, that's a new way to look at a rainbow but, I suspect you are not talking about rainbows..not really..

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Kaile,
  Call me a fool, but I love to stare at wonderful multicoloured rainbows to catch a glimpse of their fleeting beauty. One of lifes simple pleasures, for sure!

a beautiful illusion tho

Life has got to chnage,
Nothing stays the same,
Soon it will be time,
For me to move on.

Well, part of art is seeing things from a different perspective.  But I still like rainbows, and a double one truly is a glorious thing!

I like this twist on rainbows, which is open for interpretation. Made me think that maybe most rainbows are meant to be just looked at, maybe the trouble comes when we try to climb them, or claim them as our own. Good one to think upon.

Hmm... this is a negative way to look at things. But I do think that it is a wonderful phenomenon. It appears after a rainfall, bringing hope and light into our lives. We still wish upon a shooting star, don't we?
