Attempting To Capture a Pink Sky

a pink sky pinker than any other sky I’ve ever seen no one will believe it I thought so I took photos One after another, but none could hope to capture it For it was more than three dimensional, it was surreal dimensional I gave up after the sixty-eighth disappointment It looks cold out there my husband said, snuggled in his Lazy-Boy. It is, I agreed, but worth it for it is so beautiful. I thought you were not supposed to go out because of your asthma I have a little doctor’s excuse about that because it is true. I am not able to breathe well in less than thirty degrees I went out anyway, and I stayed out Trying to get the picture Which I never got Because this is the pinkest sky in the world and I am that photographer.
