Somewhere over the rainbow
Past the pot of gold
Beyond the dark seas
And even darker woods
Beyond the silent mountains
And echo-filled abysses
Beyond the burning desert
And after the freeze-dried fields
There is another rainbow
Because the world is round

I wanted to title this something different, but worried that my chosen title might cause problems entering the United States in the future so this is the new title. It's the greatest title. No one has ever written a title better than this. (All titles unrelated to content).
Let me be honest. I am finding this difficult. Now, I like a challenge, a stretch, a bit of an obstacle course. “Write about the decline of the British Empire in the form of a narrative poem in which your protagonist is an artichoke” I read, and flex my fingers. “Write a haiku to evoke the sensation of sibilance using only the first half of the alphabet.” “Well”, I think to myself, “this should be fun.” But “write about a system that isn’t working”? A system that isn’t working? Now? In 2026? ONE system? My favourite system that isn’t working? The sexiest system that isn’t working? The one giving me the most angst day to day? The one giving me the most existential dread? I am, as I say, finding this difficult. I will own that I have contemplated writing a thousand words on why the steady “all on” setting on my fairy lights is the EIGHTH of seven options which must be sequentially activated to get there, because that is a system that some fool came up with and it definitely doesn’t work, and now who is paying the price, eh? But how can I write about my fairy lights when…. When…. When….

This is great. Love how it came full circle. Well done.
I love how this was taking me somewhere. I couldn't wait to find out where. It didn't disappoint. Great job!
This has such beautiful flow. Soft and warm
Oh my goodness, I loved the idea of this so much!! I felt myself moving along with the words until it came back round. Really wonderful work :)
Beautiful! I really love how you ended this. :) I love the "Somewhere over the rainbow" theme. I also did a poem inspired by the song awhile ago. :) Wonderful work!
