Colors of the Rainbow

Kim Spivey 1957 (New York)

Yellow, red, green, purple, and blue.
Which color of the rainbow resembles you?
Bright as the sun, burning hot as a flame.
Like a plush rolling lawn, would they think of your name?
Brilliant as royalty, or an exalted birth.
Excellence of character, are you a person of worth?
A gem of a personality, pure as a clear sky.
Just honestly ask yourself, "Which one am I?"

    Wow! I really enjoyed reading your poem "Colors of the Rainbow". You have beautifully used vivid imagery to describe the colors and have brought them to life with your words. The poem is thought-provoking and encourages introspection, which is a sign of a deep and meaningful work of art. It is a great way to celebrate the diversity and uniqueness of human beings.

    Improvement Suggestions:

    I would suggest adding more stanzas to the poem to continue developing the theme of self-discovery and reflection. It would be interesting to see more examples of how the different colors could represent different personality traits and experiences. Also, it would be helpful to add more rhythmic and rhyming elements to the poem to make it more musical and memorable. Overall, great job on the poem and keep up the good work!
