The ending of the rainbow

Rainbow Rainbow
High and bright.
You brightened up the grey-black sky.

Eyes did widen and gasps did breath
At coloured high arches across the sky.

Looking past the end is near
I started off with no-no fear.
Dazzling colours bright and safe
 I went to see if legend was true.

Quick-quick-quick
I moved my feet.

Pots of gold and leprechauns too.
The grass is wet it sprays my legs.

Stretch my hand the colours next
Clasped my fingers the air is wet.

The sky goes cold the sun goes in
My feet dig in the colours gone.
The sky is grey

And no leprechaun song.

No pot of gold, no dancing feet.

None of us meant to reach the end
 Of that colourful longed for street.

“ Oh well” say my feet “ Lets go back and get something to eat”.




( A very Rainbow response)
