15. Rainbow
You can't catch a rainbow,
However hard you try;
Splashed across the sky,
It is an ephemeral show.
The colours shine and glow,
Pretty dazzling to the eye;
You can't catch a rainbow,
However hard you try.
A symbol of hope it is though,
Peeping from the clouds high,
It is beautiful, you can't deny;
A heavenly sight from below,
You can't catch a rainbow.
The above form is a Rondel.
It is another French form and the rules are as follows:

(I have not paid much attention to the syllable count)
