Inside a Rainbow

I have a friend who slid down a rainbow...
I'm a little different and found another flow...
I crawl inside and touch the colors that are bright...
When heads are turned I take a taste with delight...
Each color has its own flavor but all very sweet...
I run my tongue along the walls from head to feet...
And as my friend slides down the rainbow, I ride inside...
But in the end we both find gold however we ride...


inspired by Arild's "Sliding Down The Rainbow"
but went my own way...

This is a very clever write my friend! I like your angle you took with this rainbow, going inside and getting yourself a taste of the rainbow...I sure would like to try that, got any room for me in that ride in a rainbow? What a glorious and stupendous poem Michael! I really enjoyed this tender and delightful piece, Great Work!!
