Rainbow Sonnet Poem by Walterrean Salley

Rainbow Sonnet

Rating: 5.0


Have you heard of the rainbow story
With a pot of gold at the end?
Such incredible tale of hope,
A positive message to send.

As children, we'd see a rainbow
And remember the tale of old—
Longing to find the rainbow's end
To discover the pot of gold.

But there is a rainbow for all
As life's opportunities come.
And those are the ones we chase,
Where such ‘gold' might be from.
Hum, hope is sparked for all these years
Whenever a rainbow appears.

Nature demonstrates what goes on in human life...we take lesson of rise and fall from the daily phenomenon of the sunrise and sunset, the life goes on by the ever flowing brooks, the hope from rainbows, rainbows are beautiful for the colors, the pallette of te Great Artist Who created all colors of the world! ! !
