Rainbows A water droplet show A path to our shores A road to heavens doors Arched across the sky Little children ask us why They see dreams in their eyes Future Rainbows full of sigh's As the rainbow is lost in time Dissipating from their mind The dreams remain Leaving a reality of pain Then a tear in the child's eye Believing in our lie A world left by us We answer what's the fuss They long for the rainbow We turn and go Leaving our mess Afraid to confess The child looks up at you The rainbow is arched around you I love you dad You cry and feel sad The rainbows are dissipating Their dreams are fading We must help Mother Earth fight Before the rainbows turn black and white |

oh insect! This is unbelievably beautiful!! What a presentation for it also! You really must have spent quite a bit of time putting this together and creating it to look this way. I take my hat off to you for this one! Oh! Wait a minute! I'm not wearing a hat. Oh well it's the thought that counts right?? LOL I really REALLY LOVED this one!!  kat (pickles, lioness, killer kat..) psst! You keep on adding to the list I see. LOL |

One utterly but oh so happy, RainbowGirl.... Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm tired, but couldn't find the words even if I weren't... Do you mind if I save this? I won't until you let me know I can do so.... Oh my....you surely speak for all rainbows.. Oooops, thought I'd better clarify the happiness here, not because chiildren are sad but at the time this must have taken, the hours to create such magic, the imagination to understand...just where a rainbow comes from...

Superb work Insect!!!! Love this one!!!! That rainbow is just what I needed tonight. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Man, you get an A+, for the presentation because it's very beautiful and the message is very meaningful too so this is a very brilliant piece to me. Watch the rainbows shine and glow, watch the rainbows colors flow, as the sight of it, is captivating, as your your feelings start vibrating. This is probaly corny but, nonetheless, your poem is still great! Nathan |

I loved this..could you email me the html so I can see how it works..usually if I am changing that many font colors...it spaces it wrong for me..or is this a graphic program that rainbowed it for you..either way its wonderful and I, like you, love graphics and design in my poetry...the view source on here does not help at all ~~soft smiles Maureen |
