You cant see this miracle at night
it only happens after rain
the colors of the rainbow
yellow,red,green,and blue
appear straight away
high in the sky
the rainbow goes
behind clouds
it plays
sleep

A nonet! Forgive me for sounding naive but I've never heard of such a poem style. This is the first time I've read a nonet poem. I'm quite impressed. Thanks for sharing.

Oh my, Genna! This is a wonderful nonet! It is so pretty and makes me feel very happy. It doesn't rain very much where I live but when it does you can see the prettiest rainbows. Great job.
