This poem is a rainbow
that could not 
make up its mind.  Tried  
combinations–Scarlet
and Sage, Burnt Orange
and Banana Mania.  This poem
scratched its head, went
to bed, and thought some
more.  It dreamed Asparagus
and Cerulean, Manatee
and Fuchsia.  Nope.  Not
satisfied.  Then, this poem
had an arc of colors pop
into its head.  So instead,
the rainbow became the colors
we now know.  This poem went
home with a Cotton Candy glow.
