We’ve had crazy weather here lately with lots of wind and rain, but up in the hills, that rain took the form of snow. You can see that the freezing level is still fairly high, so we’ve been spared the snow for a while yet.
So while it snowed up high, it rained down low, but then the sun came out.
And with it came a friend of mine, Mr. Roy G. Biv.
But you must be wondering who Roy G. Biv is. Well, let me introduce you to him in the photo below.
Roy G. Biv is a colourful guy. If you take the first letters of his name, you’ll be able to remember all the colours of the rainbow in the order that they appear in the sky.
R = red
O = orange
Y = yellow
G = green
B = blue
I = Indigo
V = violet
*****
Rainbow Roy is quite the boy,
Giving joy immense,
Colours bright are quite a sight,
Though the sky is dense.
Clouds of rain are such a pain,
Bringing on the shivers,
Pouring down upon the ground,
Flowing past in rivers.
Near the peak the snowflakes streak,
Settling on the trees,
How I hope it coats the slope,
Don’t come down here, please.
Rainbow blaze, my senses daze,
Long as I shall live,
It’s a sight that brings delight,
Mr. Roy G. Biv.

A fantastic picture, Anneli, and a lovely poem. I like that idea of Mr. “Roy G. Biv” a lot.

Roy was not stretching just then and maybe because he was crouching down, his colours were more intense.

I wondered whether it was so fat because of the low, heavy clouds and so much moisture crammed low in the sky.

I have to admit it’s not original to use roygbiv for the colours, but I thought since it started with “Roy,” why not make him a person. Thanks for reading, Carol.
