Rainbow

Red
Like blood dribbling out of a heart,
Like a sun dribbling with light,
Like love dribbling out of my soul
For you.

Orange
Like an orange fruit abundant with flavor,
Like a sword abundant with heat from the fight,
Like a warning abundant with fright
For the oncoming storm.

Yellow
Like a wonderful sunshiny sun,
Like a highlighter oh so wonderful,
Like a sign so wonderful that people must obey it;
If they donât lives will be lost.

Green
Like a plant growing quickly out of the ground,
Like a vest growing smaller after every wash cycle,
Like your eye growing more wrinkled over the years
From those wonderful smiling moments.

Blue
Like a open summer sky,
Like a ballerina tutu fluttering open in the dance,
Like a pond only open
For one summer; this one.

Indigo
Like the inside of my room with the light off,
Like the inside of my eyelid when I sleep,
Like the inside of a blackened piece of coal
In the fireplace.

Violet
Like the end of the rainbow,
Like a ribbon in a box,
Like the sorrowful balloon with a broken string
From the fair.

Lol^ I liked it too!

It could use some changes here though:

Like a highlighter oh so wonderful,
Like a sign so wonderful that people must obey it;
If they don�t lives will be lost.

I think it is good, but the Yellow paragraph needs a little retouching , not sure about the wonderfulness of highlighters and signs. Also the ballerina tutu could be just fluttering not fluttering open, it gives the impression it is coming untied or fluttering off.
I really love the one about the inside of the eyelids.
And the way you have used all the senses is very creative.
Good Work

Well, I'm no fan or poetry since I usually start snoring after 5 minutes but that was exceptional. Each color described a different feeling and what resembles in it.

Oh snap. It looks like the daughter of Danaus is the necromancer when in actuality it is not!
