Billowing Askew

Apricot marmalade wispy clouds upon the blue
canvas, swiftly changing sunrise reveals a surprise_
charcoal gray, a textured smoke billowing askew
across the eastern sky, Suddenly diamond dew
drops fall upon grasses, Everything expressed anew
as the sun rises, the moon bidded
adieu, this day will pass; tomorrow, too
Apricot marmalade wispy clouds upon the blue

Lovely, Sara. You have such a way about you when it comes to describing the beauty and grandeur of nature. Alluring. I tried writing about the dawn yesterday....I wrote and wrote...enjambment doesn't come easily to me. Needless to say...I didn't post it. Hugs. Good luck!

It sure does make sense, I see it as a canvas and an artist is painting all these fresh colors upon it. I love the first/end line, you are so unique with your descriptions! refreshing!
