Day 8: Rainbow


After all the rain, sun. And a rainbow. Or I should say - rainbows. And everytime I see a rainbow I think of this poem by John Agard, in which he coins an unique and memorable metaphor, saying a rainbow  'is God doing limbo'.

A rainbow really is 'one big smile across the sky.' And if witnessing one doesn't make you smile - maybe this poem will.

(Better to read this poem aloud - and enjoy the samba rhythm of it!)


Rainbow - John Agard


When you see
de rainbow
you know
God know
wha he doing-
One big smile
across the sky-
I tell you
God got style
the man got style

When you see
raincloud pass
and de rainbow
make a show
I tell you
is God doing
limbo
the man doing
limbo

But sometimes
you know
when I see
de rainbow
so full of glow
and curving
like she bearing a child
I does want to know
if God ain't a woman

If that is so
the woman got style
man she got style

  3. Hello everyone, I’m Stephanie Wilson from Florida. My score was 598. After quick research of a hacker called PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST with numerous recommendations and that which my girlfriend Tabitha explained about with positive reviews. I contacted him explaining my problem. Duly he came up with a resounding proposal and guaranteed to fix my credit. Today I got a score alert of 803!!! The last baddie was finally removed!!! A collection that I never owed to begin with. It's amazing now all thanks to PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST. I strongly recommend him for your credit fix.

  4. Hello everyone, all thanks to PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST long story short, a divorce during covid really hampered my credit. I went from the mid-700s to the 500s. I’ve been trying to work hard to get it built back up and have recently got as high as 660 on some bureaus. I recently sent dispute letters for a few items and two of them caused my score for Equifax to drop significantly. It was so disheartening. My first dispute was with Ally Financial. Last year, I had a lot of building up in one month, so I requested a payment extension for them for that month. They agreed to give me one so long as I would pay an extension fee by a due date that they’ve given. I absolutely did that right away and paid what they asked of me. However, by the time everything got processed, it was considered a late payment for that month, which is what I was trying NOT to do. I’ve called their customer service, and they said there’s nothing they could do to remove it because that would be reporting an inaccurate credit report. I tried to dispute it with a letter and once they received it and investigated it, my score dropped 19 points from them. I also had issues with Discover bank. I had a charge off that occurred in 2021. My credit reports have always shown a past due balance, even though it’s charge off, and stupidly I listen to a lot of internet videos, saying that you could dispute past due balance on charge offs because they are not accurate. When I did that, I got an update on my Equifax saying that the scriptures were added to my Discover account and it showed my score dropping 39 points. I didn’t understand or know how I could go about fixing my credit. I read about PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST on QUORA and CK and informed me, I contacted them after reading some testimonies about them, they raised my credit score to 802 and deleted all negative items on my credit report within 6 days. They made it work and I have a clean credit profile now. My heart is full of gratitude. You can reach them by email: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM OR Call +1 (409) 231-0041.
