Note: Rainbows are caused when the sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the earth's atmosphere. The rainbow colors range from red (on the outside) and violet (on the inside). Rainbow displays occur when part of the sky is still cloudy and the observer is at a spot with clear sky in the direction of the sun - Wiki

This morning's rainbow

shares its deep violet edge

with the misty moon    -   haiku by Mabson Southard

Red at the extreme

Violet at the opposite

Colors in between

Wonder of nature

Consistent in its make-up

Emblazoned up high

Coolness of drizzle

Persistence in appearance

Hugging Sun’s rays tight
