Rainbow

Refraction of light when
Rays of sunlight pass through
Raindrops sprinkled by clouds
Reflections behind drops
Release hues of magic 
Rainbow iridescent
Revives hopes to rejoice

Oh, my poetic friend, the beauty of your poem puts me over the rainbow.. every line flows beautifully with splendid imagery. I adore this piece, Ani. My pleiades was on a rainbow too, but it doesn't compare to the bright shine of artistry in your piece. A fav! Congratulations, dear poetess, it is a pleasure to share the podium with you. Warmest wishes, love and hugs.. I hope all is well, sweet friend.. ~Susan

With the amount of rain going on these past several days, I could sure go for a rainbow right about now! I hope your poem does well for the contest ... rainbows have always been (well, since the days of Noah, I suppose) a great symbol of hope and rejoicing! This read rather naturally I'd say.

Very well done, Anitha. I bet this will be a top placed one. Not sure about mine. I have been doing Kim's challenges since she started with A, and I think I did food everytime (in case maybe one day I do a book of food poetry!) I was between raspberries, rhubarb, rice and rigatoni. Rice I think is best known and popular, so I went with that one. I bet India has some good R named foods!

You did an excellent job with the R Pleiades; it seems to be a strong candidate in the contest. Beautiful imagery. Excellent prose.

You've have done a very good one using the letter R. Way to go. Reads like a good contender to me in the contest. I like the explanation of the science of a rainbow. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara
