A Painting On Curved Glass

My view from the balcony paints the sky cobalt blue Unaware of the maple tree that ferociously swings Quivering its shadows at the behest of gusty winds As fluttering green leaves filter gilded rays through As clouds move in, evening calls out the golden sun For forfeiting its reign of the vibrant orange horizon When pitter-patter's heard in blooming rose garden Emanating petrichor from fragrance of summer fun When the fleeting storm moves on it's all over soon As faded light emerges from somber eyes of dark The sky now resembles a painting on curved glass-- Periwinkle on tangerine runes enticing bashful moon June 1, 2018 Placed 3rd: Standard contest 400 by Brian Strand

You are a Wordsmith ! A windy evening and the shadows of a maple tree have aroused in you such picturesque visions that those who read this poem see a painting etched in curved glass....
