Creative corner BROUGHT TO YOU BY Mrs. Reilly s Creative writing class A Rainbow s Truth By Fiona Morris A rainbow with only a red stripe might be angry; angry that all his other friends are off playing in the sky without him An orange stripe without his friends might feel afraid; afraid that all his other friends have disappeared and left him alone A yellow stripe without her friends might feel pride; pride that she's the only one you see A green stripe without his friends might feel lonely; lonely because no one is there to talk to A blue stripe might feel cold; cold because all her other friends aren't there to warm her A purple stripe without his friends might feel shy; shy that all the attention was on him A pink stripe in the sky might feel glad and hopeful; glad and hopeful that he was finally seen A rainbow isn't one color. One color might think they mean nothing if they re in the sky alone. One person might be like that single strip of color. Don't let that person be angry, afraid, cocky, lonely, cold, shy. Let them be the pink. Let them be full of happiness that someone noticed them.
