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
