I loved RainBow till I studied Physics. The charm of the rainbow gradually disappeared. The arc transformed into a circle of knowledge, and lost the open element of awe. I was picking up wet laundry from the clothesline, after a shower, rather than look for the rainbow.
I am sure, RainBow was mighty disappointed, and missed my childhood. It was pretty lonely, amidst dense, gray clouds on the gray sky. There it came … down to earth with a thud, in a puddle of water. And the Sun helped the world in noticing its existence. Damn the physics lessons….
Inspired by Flash Fiction Challenge – February 9
After studying physics, I see even more rainbows than before. Now I know when and where to look. It’s awesome to see electric microscopic properties manifest themselves at a large scale. Rainbows are awesome!

Your flash is like a coming of age tale. I like the personification of the rainbow despite the acknowledgment of science. I really enjoyed this line: “The arc transformed into a circle of knowledge…”
