Color Me a Rainbow

by Gypsy Blue Rose

 

color me a rainbow

   over cotton candy clouds—

with divine finger paint

 

 
 
 




- In the Bible, rainbows represent God's covenant with all living creatures after the Flood. - Genesis 9:8-11

- "Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud." - Maya Angelou

HAIKU is a Japanese short unrhymed poem that uses imagistic language to express the essence of a deeply felt moment. It resonates on a deeper level, enlightening the reader and making an insightful connection. English Haiku doesn't follow the 5/7/5 form, because Japanese syllables are much shorter. The rule of thumb is to write it as succinctly as possible and 17 syllables or less.
