Tasting the Rainbow

On a sunny day
The sun shining bright
It suddenly pours rain 
this seldom happens

As suddenly the rain 
Stops pouring downward
It quickly stops
then a rainbow is seen

Pondering the taste
Of all the colours
I reached up to taste
the rainbow

Blue-taste like grape
White -peppermint
Yellow - lemon
Green-lime
Orange-orange
Red-cherries
These are the colours I have tasted
