RAINBOWS

It’s find a rainbow day!
Rainbows are nature’s way,

To astound us,
so let’s discuss,

The how and why,
rainbows appear in the sky.

The explanation is scientific,
but don’t cringe it’s not horrific.

I’ll make it easy to understand,
that’s my plan.

Relax, this will be fun,
it’s just rain and sun.

The sun gives us sunlight,
that often appears bright.

The sunlight travels in waves,
the key is how light behaves.

These waves have different speeds,
to make a rainbow all we need,

is the visible wavelength spread,
of violet, blue, green, yellow, orange and red.

As the light passes through our air,
the sky is bright and clear.

Clouds will block our view,
you know this is true.

When it rains,
light behaves strange.

When the light enters the H20,
it bends and goes slow.

Let’s get the terminology right,
refraction is the bending of light.

It also separates and spreads the colors.
to help create the beautiful wonders,

that we all know
as a rainbow.

Let’s get the terminology right,
optic dispersion is the spreading of light.

Some of the light the reflects
to help create a spectacular effect,

that we all know
as a rainbow.

The final action,
is the exiting refraction!

So now you know,
the science of a rainbow!


In case you can't find a rainbow, you can make one!

I remember when I was young, I work at a green house. and water plants all day constant in a rain bow :)
cool to put the info in a poem.

Thank you. I hope being in the presence of all those rainbows kept you smiling as you worked.

@emergehealthier -I did not know that there was such a thing as a National Find A Rainbow Day... It's good to know that something so beautiful is celebrated & appreciated! Did you know you can make a rainbow indoors? You can only do it by doing the same thing you do outside- and then use a mirror over the water spray. upvoted!

Thanks, I will be making rainbows indoors to brighten up my day!

nice poetry.. I had tried this rainbow making trick and it's amazing... u have eplained rainbows in an amazing way.. really creative...

First time rainbow was explained in verse form. How you thought of this just boggles my mind. Beautiful.

Thank you. My poem writing process is to do some research, write down a few key words, think about it and then take a nap. When I wake, I make a cup of tea and write the poem. I believe the nap is the key!

Well whatever it is just keep on doing it. It's doing wonders. Awesome.
