Please No Gold
Rainbow gold could cause problems6 total reviews
Comment from JennaG
An extremely clever piece! I'd never thought of it that way, that if there truly was gold at the end of the rainbow the world would end up fighting over it. Sadly, I suspect you are very correct in that assumption. This poem is well written and I like the use of rhyme. It's a piece that makes the reader stop and think and I really enjoyed that about it. Best of luck to you in the contest! :)

Comment from Poetic Friend
I really like the couplets and the deeper meanings therein those couplets. I don't the rainbow is necessarily a myth, but it provides hope. The hope that hard work leads to gold. The hope that good outweighs evil (positivity outweighs negativity). The hope that there is a bright light at the end. The hope that keeps us hoping and believing. Regardless of what twists and turns life offers, we must always continuing to hope (striving to reach that the end of the rainbow).
Thank you for this poignant poem. Good luck in the contest.

So true. Money just makes people animals and they become selfish. Some people become unrecognizable. Thank you for sharing and best wishes in the contest. NB

Great poem. I like the twisted take you took on this, very interesting. I totally agree too, it would cause a terrible fight or war. Thanks for sharing and have a great day

This is a unique approach to the "What If" challenge. I wonder though, wouldn't there be enough gold to go around as rainbows are everywhere on the planet? Something to ponder with this wonderful write. xoxo Kiwi

Don't you think the powerful ones would try to create a monopoly? Thanks for the read and the thought. It would be nice, however, there are those who seem not wanting to share. Money is power.
