Rainbow Cafe

i hope you will check out the video ..i think it is very cool :)

Rainbow Cafe

sharp points as water

drops ... suspending     

                    change to

global          

          and like

frozen amber 

                  smooth.

nature and law insist

that light refracts 

                        pass through and is

white of all 

                color which lights the

skies .. 

       

          rainbow

write here at

                   this cafe.

Author's Note

A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicoloured arc. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the sun.
refraction:the fact or phenomenon of light, radio waves, etc., being deflected in passing obliquely through the interface between one medium and another or through a medium of varying density.

The formatting of your words added a lot to this write, E. Yes, we are a rainbow at the cafe....we come from all over the world, are all colors, and religions. We come together because we love words...and it works. If only the world could find a common ground like this. We are a rainbow. I tried to watch the video, but science class was never my favorite so I did not get through it all. Liked the line, "It's okay to be smart."....yup! Great presentation. Lydi**

aww thanks Lydia! every single thing you say is what this one is about ..the Cafe is my social network .. we are expected to be different ..honest to the point of vulnerability .. and can disagree ;) can give/take constructive criticism with good hearts .. thanks again for your comments ...so glad you enjoyed!
E.
ps thanks for trying on the video .. it is a little long :)

I wish I had seen this before I wrote 'Fluent in Color'. I like that idea of yours that as light retracts through a raindrop it becomes sharp with color. Each one of us writing drops has filled my bow with rain!

"blessed is the man whose quiver is full,," Psalm 127:5 ... not quite the meaning of the Psalmist but apropos says i! love your creative word play sir! i will find your "Fluent in Color" asap .. thanks so much for your time spent on my "stuff" :)

What a splendid kaleidoscope of form and hue you have created for us all here to consider and savour as we so please.
It seems each word & every line where lines apply, have been strategically placed, adding deceptive depths
to intrigue and variously interpret each time we visit this page......Another darn good un E.....Cheers, Neville

[Einstein Noodle]

i have to admit i had a bit of fun writing thisone ..the Cafe is so diverse and congenial most of the time ...if poets and dancers would have the desire to ..and run the world right?! ;) love your visits and comments always Neville .. thank you for finding this one to review :)

Words formatted like raindrops falling- perfectly enhancing the poem..rainbows video great! Love the title and theme of “Rainbow Cafe”- an awesome way to think of us all - “write here” E.! You absolutely nailed it my friend!

[Einstein Noodle]

glad you found this one Annette! it is a wonderful community here isn't it!? peace and love

Rainbows are utterly fascinating because they are both concrete and abstract.

The science portrays rainbows as concrete to a certain point. However, sight is the sole sense it triggers since you cannot touch, taste, smell, or hear them. Its spectrum it beautifully created from light and sun. Thank you for sharing the video since it compliments this concept very well.

Abstract qualities of rainbows can be philosophical and spiritual. The most common interpretation is that these colors represent various personalities as one. We need diversity as creators; the oppositions completes the yin yang.

Spiritual qualities of rainbows range in a spectrum. Pun intended. :P For instance, I am fasinated by color symbolism which leads me into the concept of chakras. Chakras was developed by Eastern civilizations that organized seven of them to indicate spiritual parts of the body:

1. RED: Root Chakra — Represents our foundation and feeling of being grounded.

2. ORANGE: Sacral Chakra — Our connection and ability to accept others and new experiences.

3. YELLOW: Solar Plexus Chakra — Our ability to be confident and in control of our lives.

4. GREEN: Heart Chakra — Our ability to love.

5. BLUE: Throat Chakra — Our ability to communicate.

6. INDIGO: Third Eye Chakra — Our ability to focus on and see the big picture.

7. VIOLET: Crown Chakra — The highest chakra represents our ability to be fully connected spiritually.

Now look what you've done. :P I sound like an encyclopedia. "Rainbows" is relevant to my current poetry I posted on healing crystals I have used to help my anxiety. Frankly, I have difficulty communicating so I wear "howlite" as a lucky charm so to speak. Most consider it a placebo, but it works for me.

Overall, I enjoy your presence here at the cafe. Thank you for sharing!

yours truly,
ria

[Einstein Noodle]

wow! i sure appreciate your thorough and sensitive reading of this poem ...your review is better than the poem! you have drawn so much out of it! thank you!! I use to work with a RN who (with permission) would use different stones to soothe and calm and heal .. she also used healing touch and message ... releasing stress is paramount to healing says i ..if it works...it works ...God bless you my friend ..so glad we have met ...here at the Cafe of rainbows ;))

[Vria P Crow]

haha Why thank you. Let's settle for your poem and my review to be equal in measure. :P That is wonderful to hear that an RN used these stones. I like the combination of medical and spiritual to help patients.

It has been a pleasure meeting you here at the Cafe as well.

Very nice write. I love the structure and how you guide the reader through your abstract ways of writing and imagery.

Rainbow cafe, an awesome creative title.

[Einstein Noodle]

thank you! and so nice to meet you! i usually revert to free verse ..it seems to suite my intentions most of the time ..i am so glad you connected with it ... i will have to stop by your place to get to know you better .. :) peace and joy
E.

[V]

You already know me...and I decided to close my account. Just stopped by shortly to check and take some of my writings..

[Einstein Noodle]

yes...i saw that and remembered you ... duh! i hope you do come back ... tho one finds it impossible to keep up with everyone ..we can touch base over a month or so ... especially if one is active ;) God bless you!

[V]

No I won't. This place has become stale and exhausting to me + the frequent bugs. ..

[Einstein Noodle]

:( ...... you are not alone in those experiences .. some who i hold as very good friends have left as well... sad to say so ... good luck to you .. there are a lot of sites around for poetic expressions :)

[V]

They are but I like to write for myself atm. Thx for your understanding.

[Island Hippy]

Aloha E, I love the way the words are spilling a bit like rain. A great analogy that honors our differences. Izzy

[Einstein Noodle]

hey Hippie! thanks so much for taking time .. i have gained so much here at the Cafe .. i appreciate you pointing to our differences as honorable .. they certainly are .. poets hearts are pretty cool most times says i! ;) again thank you for the visit
E.

[Island Hippy]

You're very welcome, our differences are worth honoring :)

[Einstein Noodle]

yep .. for sure!

[KWP]

this has made me think deeper already on this sunny Sydney morning ... yes the light refracts and seemingly makes things solid, real. A reminder that anything is possible and that is certainly a great chant to take out into the day ... my life as a rainbow ... ok you may have sparked todays poem ... hmmm lets see ... (I went off topic, but that's nothing new) XXX

[Einstein Noodle]

i hope you never change your avatar .. i see your smile and am instantly smiling and grinning like joy does to ya! ;) i am particularly glad you found this one as i think it is down your Aussie alley ..did you check the video a little? its kind of fun .. its a morning glowing here in the Ozarks .. my arm is better and today i will do yard work for a bit, have my beer and remember you of course as my afternoon gets filled with hot tub soaking, a little reading and who knows what other mysteries befall ... remember ..you are the best cook and sandwich maker ...ever ... everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! :)) love ya!

[Great Aunt Astri]

The format of this poem looks like rain falling down. Well done for writing this clever poem

[Einstein Noodle]

when a classical affectionatos appreciates free form such as this one .. i could not be more gratified .. thank you Ms. Astri! thank you very much
E.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

You present this as refracted and describe the colours (differences between each of us in our writing and our perception of other peoples work) within the Café. Nice analogy, flowing, fragments of form and a really watchable video. Thanks for posting it Einstein.

[Einstein Noodle]

and thank you so much for your thorough read ... and checking out the video too!! much appreciated .. God bless!

I love the formatting, and a lovely sentiment -- though sometimes the rainbow is a little murky and disjointed. I still hate explaining the whole white light thing to my kids. Makes a rainbow into a formula.:)

[Einstein Noodle]

ahahaha well...i suppose one must sense into self to know the proper teaching time on white light ;) glad you like this one .. it is my sentiment for sure .. i agree there have been those murky times but easily swept away says i! love and peace my Goode friend ;)
