The Writing Rainbow Poem by Denis Martindale

The writing rainbow rests above
And spans from left to right,
With seven colours, joined by love,
To bring Mankind delight.

Yes, writing spans the Universe,
Transcending time and space,
With many evils to disperse,
To usher in God's grace.

For there are genres even now
That go beyond the norm,
Not just romances that somehow
Can make our cold hearts warm.

With sagas, epics, fairy tales,
Adventures old and new
And stories when the prince prevails,
So credit where it's due.

A perfect blend in harmony,
Resplendent with insight,
That's more than rhyming poetry
That's shared in black and white.

It's why each writer studies well,
Then imitates the best
And seeks to have a tale to tell,
Such that folks are impressed.

It's why I penned my rhymes for years,
With thousands here and there,
Content to know, besides my tears,
The privilege to share…
