Notes About The Poem

Smokey

Smokey clouds stretch across the sun
A purple cast appears
An apricot color decorates
Silhouetted trees sear

A light show on the horizon
The sun seemed to reverse
Dark purple clouds wrap around
The roosters' song terse

Fog that filled the vale eight feet deep
Lifted without a sound
On the creek a honking bird
Sang a tune just one round

Only a tiny golden peek
From the now rising sun
Smokey gray and deep purple clouds
Dominate guess the sun's done

Out on the porch for a short while this morning..Sara
