Rainbow

By Gemma, 15

Violet is a humble flower, hidden in the shade

Indigo is ripened grapes, coloured with their age

Orange is a candle flame, flickering in the breeze

Red is a little poppy, pretty as you please

Blue is the ocean, spraying cold and wet

Yellow is the sun, as it rises, as it sets

Green is the grass as it sways in the field

Rainbow is the symbol of a promise fully sealed.

Gemma says: “I’ve been homeschooled all my life. I love to write poetry and prose.”
