C for coloured
In case you haven’t noticed
|
the whole world is coloured.
|
is saturated except those
|
Now there are signs saying
|
The colours are preening themselves
|
and the birds will decide
|
who they want to sing for.

Does love have a colour? How about caring or thriving or any feeling which makes our world a little brighter. If I had to venture an opinion I would say all of these are rainbow coloured. Sometimes rainbows show up unexpectedly in our lives in forms different from bow-shaped clusters of raindrops. There are people who paint our world beautiful.
