Purple Horizon Proud

The sun rose bright red not a dark cloud in sight
           Few whispy cotton clouds spread around blue sky
Redtail Hawk in sky left nest for morning flight
          On those cold air currents he did swiftly fly

Door was opened by east north easterly wind
           Letting out illness, death, want_then in comes health
The sun set covered in dense clouds_cold its shroud
           Will it rise in morn purple horizon proud

This is especially lovely, can see this hawk flying off in the early morning! Rispetto, this is yet another form I'm not familiar with. This will be corrected soon:). I've been watching the news, noting the south is getting unusual wintry weather, likely something you wouldn't be used to. Just had a snowstorm that started yesterday noon, lasted into the overnight. Dumped about 8" of the white stuff onto us, an average storm.

Sara, this is such a wonderfully descriptive poem. I like the way the door opens to release "illness, death, want" and allow health to enter. The reader can see the sun's red rays turning the clouds purple against the backdrop of the blue sky. Awesome write for my favorites! Love, Carolyn
