The Rainbow
Red is the blood that stains my soul,
Orange are the embers at the heart of the coal,
Yellow is the sickly colour of the sun that never shines,
Green is the most obvious of the envy signs,
Blue is the make-believe colour of the ocean,
Indigo is the blue, purple and black potion,
Violet is the last and supposedly most happy colour,
But this is the poem that makes the rainbow duller.

I really used to love this poem when I first wrote it a few years ago, but for some reason I really don't like it very much anymore. Oh, well. You can read it and have your own opinions anyway.
