This is a nice poem. Rainbows are one of my favorite things that happen in nature. Your imagery describes the beauty of rainbows very well.

I didn't notice any errors or typos, though the bright font on the bright background was a little hard to read.

Nice work!

Strange how they come in pairs. Unusual to get two almost as bright as each other but a stunning photo to accompany your contest entry. I rather like unpunctuated poetry it allows the reader several different interpretations of the poem.

Beautiful poem. I couldn't really read it carefully because of the colors. They kind of blended to cause a glaring effect. I have epilepsy and couldn't concentrate. Others may have light sensitivity and may have the same thing.

What I did read, was beautiful. :) Good luck in the contest.

This poem turns around on itself like a kalaidascope of images, all colors and light and iridescence. I like the alliterations and echoing sound patterns. It has a nice waving, undulating rhythm to the meter that works well to highlight the theme. estory

The majesty of rainbows well depicted in both the poem and the photo. Of all the attributes of a rainbow, the one that resonates most is: "Natures defiance" certainly nature (the rainbow) trumps all the misery and heartache we encounter in this earthly domain.

This is an astounding piece of poetry dear anonymous! It can be juxtaposed between the beauty of the rainbow and the fragility of the human heart.
Thanks for sharing! Good luck!
Blessings and a big squeeze!

Rainbows are amazing. I have seen double rainbows and watched them for miles. A glorious sight to see them across an open meadow. I wish you the best in the contest.

These lines clearly and wonderfully describe a rainbow and how it is formed and of its beauty.

I like the use of rainbow colors in the background and print but you may want to find a darker shade of blue. I, with my bad eyesight. found it a little hard to read.

Good luck and keep writing

    Thank you, my friend, I just went to change the color, the darker made more glare, I lightened it a tad.

    You're welcome. The change has made it much easier to read.

What is more naturally beautiful than the appearance of a rainbow after or during a fresh rain shower?
You captured this essence with your words.
One small thing, should there be an apostrophe in the first line: "Natures" - Nature's?
Very enjoyable poem.
