OctPoWriMo 19 - The Whole Rainbow

Prompt: Purple
Form: Villanelle



The Whole Rainbow

I used to like purple the best
But now I love the whole rainbow:
Each part of me therein expressed.

As a child, I was obsessed;
I guess some things you just outgrow.
I used to like purple the best.

The prism in me manifest
Can through my life the spectrum show
Each part of me therein expressed.

It’s not a battle nor a test
To bring me to where I can glow.
I used to like purple the best.

And though I have not yet confessed
Every part of me, you know
Each part of me herein expressed.

No longer is my heart compressed;
Now I am free to learn and grow.
I used to like purple the best;
Each part of me herein expressed.
