“The set rhyme scheme is: a/b/c/d/e/d/f/d g/h/c/g/i/g/d/d. This seems an extremely convoluted rhyme scheme, so your poetic license will not be revoked if you use your judgement on choosing a different pattern, or forgoing the scheme all together, I’ll have no problem with it. We’re about writing poems here, so get to it!”
When the rain was gone
a rainbow appeared
then doubled in size
covering the sky.
Oh my, quite a sight
to gaze awed, upon.
Snap! It disappeared.
Sighs from everyone.
For children, something
new was learned–colors
of the rainbow’s arc.
Mnemonic–Roy G.
Biv–helped them recall
rainbow color chart.
Were happy to be
here where rainbows sparked.
