Blank Verse Collaboration

Somewhere on the Rainbow                  By: Grace, Alexa, Rhiannon, Elizabeth, Jessica

Above you, after rain, a sight of awe. 1

The vibrant colors stain the sky with vi

bes. 2

I glow on springtime daisies growing vast. 3

On skin I shine like suns on days most bright.4

I live inside your soul as happy zest.5

The summer air is full of life and bliss.6

The color yellow I am. I am joy.    7                      

The sounds and smells I make from crashing waves,8

My seaside sanctuary calms the mind.9

Untainted seas with swimming fish in reefs.10

Put toes in sand; relinquish doubt to me.11

Serene I seem as I am sea-foam green.   12                   

From far the deep blue lake is calm and cool.13

Light blue the sky is full of hope and life.14

The blueberry is subtly sweet and soft.15

With wings spread wide the blue-bird sings so swell.16

I am those things: I am the shades of blue.   17             

Oh Fuck! Your face is one I wish would burn.18

To hell with you to die a painful death.19

To fester blood, to blister skin, inflict 20

Some evil, lose your heart, replace with me—21

The Hate! Remember me! The color Red! 22

I stain. Pollute. I taint, disgrace, destroy.23

Not just the coal that burns, the ash that forms. 24

I rage, I censor, seize, defeat, offend. 25

Unknown and feared. I crush, depress, entrap. 26

I shame and sin, I’m scandal. Wicked. Black.  27           

Another splendid moment passes now. 28

So long, farewell, until we meet again.    29
