In sprightly hues the rainbow blooms,
An eclectic genre that nature assumes.
A tapestry of colours, so vivid and bright,
Painted by the sun, with the purest beaming light.

Red, the first stroke daunts the azure sky,
Passions of flame, glares always high.
Orange follows, with its fervent vibe,
Joy and warmth, augmenting an unassuming tide.

Yellow beams like a golden ray,
Radiant hope, for a brand-new day.
Green encompasses the symbol of life,
Renewal, growth, and an agile life.

Blue catches the mind wide as an endless sea,
Serene and calm, such a frivolous glee.
Indigo transcends the deepest mystical decree,
Whispers all secrets of the nights, to enjoy free.

Violet strokes the mystiques so regal and rare,
Crossing the milky ways beyond light-years.
Each colour is so harmoniously grand,
Would augment truest unity across races and land.

Oh rainbow! You bridge the divide,
With your vibrant palette truly refined and unified.
A symphony of shades, what a visual avocation,
The finest testament to nature’s captivating affirmation.
