-Rainbow Village

There is a beautiful little village
Down a long rainbow coloured country lane
Known to only a few
Where  collective colourful characters reign

The residents of Rainbow Village
Are a  creative colourful bunch
Who meet every week religiously 
At the local Village Inn for Sunday lunch

Mr Red is the local policeman
He is driven and a natural born leader
Decisive, firm but fair
Authoritative while following police procedure

Policeman Red married Miss White
The villages well loved librarian 
An independent calm gentle soul
A compassionate revered humanitarian

Together they have a daughter
A little girl called Pink who is ten years old
A playful ,sensitive, loving child
Adventurous and bold

Dr Brown is the villages doctor
A warm natured, comforting, reliable man
Who is married to  Dr Blue the local veterinarian
A kind ,caring dependable bloke who will help anyone he can

Miss Purple is the towns local artist
Beautiful, talented and unique
Unbelievably imaginative and creative
Her colourful creativity is displayed on every cobbled street

Mr Green is Rainbow Villages resident gardener
A young man totally at one with nature and harmony
The village is abound with happy, bright colourful flora
As far as the eye can see

Mr & Mrs Orange are both school teachers
Both are optimistic, enthusiastic and love to teach
Energetic ,cheerful and passionate
Learning and education never far from their minds reach

Mr Grey , l should say Mayor Grey
Has the village and residents best interest at heart
Always calm, composed and diplomatic
Supporting locals with their creativity, colour and art

Miss Yellow runs the village general store
A lovely outgoing lady with a heart of gold
Always trying to accomodate all the residents wants and needs 
Her produce is quality so be quick or it will be sold!

Mr Black is the publican of the Rainbow Inn
An intriguing powerful fellow
A somewhat mysterious man
Who is secretly and hopelessly in love with Miss Yellow

Rainbow Village is a wonderful place to reside
Full of incredible interesting and varied folk
Not always do they see eye to eye
Yet come Sunday all gather and unite over lunch and a joke

This is really, really evocative of small- town life in America as well as Australia, Deb. Great job of portraying it. (Colorful too). ~ Barbers, Beauticians, Bakers --- Gershon

A FAV for my collection by a favorite poet of mine. I want to live in "Rainbow Village." Your imagery was enticing, Deb. A simple life is more appealing the older I get. Do you allow visitors for Sunday lunch? :-) Hugs from your poet friend in Texas, Tex (New name ... I deleted all my old poems and I'm starting anew.)
