I’ll paint you a rainbow to hang on the wall,
To brighten your heart when the grey shadows fall.
On a canvas of joy outlasting the years,
With a soft brush of sweetness to dry all of your tears.
I’ll paint you a rainbow with colors of smiles
That glow with sincerity over the miles,
On a palette of words I will tenderly blend
Tones into treasures of sunlight and wind.
I’ll paint you a rainbow that reaches so wide,
Your sighs and your sorrows will vanish inside,
And deep in the center of each different hue,
A memory fashioned especially for you
So lift up your eyes, for suspended above,
A rainbow designed by the fingers of love

Great flow and beautiful words! What a great job you did! I like the imagery, you did wonderfully!
-
Its beautiful. I love the choice of rhyme and the flow is so smooth. I dare say its flawless. Its very touching and the emotions is easily felt. this is ery much the type of poetry I enjoy reading.
-
This is such a lovely, warm and fuzzy poem, for me though the background made reading hard. Best to you
-
this is beautiful! no wonder you won the silver. the last two lines was just precious!!
-
Oh! it made me smile and laugh and cry. Great job! i wish i could see the poem though... sorry, but the font color distracts me too much.
Back to reviewing, i felt giddy from the poem, the whole theme was well put, the rhyming flowing perfectly, the message greatly done.
What amazes me more, is that you said 'I' and although its common place, it says that YOU would do something for THEM and makes people happy. Hopeful. Great job!
My favorite part is this:
'On a canvas of joy outlasting the years,
With a soft brush of sweetness to dry all of your tears.'
It says how much you would do, acknowledges someones pain, yet gives them hope and love, and is a great play on words. Great job!
-
great poem, suits the prompt to a tee. I like how you leave the reader to interpret. Then in the last two lines to direct them to the narrator.
great flow and story.
Favorite lines:
'So lift up your eyes, for suspended above,
A rainbow designed by the fingers of love'
