Rainbow Valley

Yellow, red, blue, orange, magenta, purple, and green
are the colors of a perfect rainbow.
These hues flicker like a beautiful bow.
Yes, this is the valley of castles, riches and dreams.

Knights with shields and armor protect this terrain
No one may enter or leave the valley unknown.
Those who cross the river will be rightfully known.
The magic of the rainbow guards all who are not sane.

One day two children displeased the palaces folk
and went away from the land of rainbow
They trekked over the waters high and low,
both progenies searched for gold and playful foe.

When the cavaliers held the children on kingly property
they took them to the palace for penance.
It was a sorry moment for these two adolescents
there young remorseful grins granted them sympathy. 

The country of colorful rainbows and circumstance
beckon all who enter with stories of treasures.
Those who leave have memories of great adventures,
But the power of the rainbow brightens only the prominence.
