Matthew 16

Summer a time of heated fun
But no fun time for me because
The sun rose red again this morn
Red rising sun means trouble, Hun
Will storms come our way this hot day
Will it be another big gun
Maybe a knife or crazy wife   
Lord intervene, protect loved ones 
Let it be warning, time for pause
Again, this morn, the sun rose red
Let saying be a myth home spun

Great information and piece dear Sara. I dreamt of the moon turning red today. I searched if it meant something bad and it kept talking about Luna's eclipse. I thought it was creative until now. A red sky is not so cozy. However, I make my rules so I stick to the creative side of it.

I think we are getting many red sunrises because the end is nearing, but only God knows. Thanks for the visit, Tonye, I appreciate the time spent here. Sara K

Ah, the memories! I heard the sailor's poem like this: 'Red sky at night, sailor's delight // Red sky in the morning, sailor's warning.' At any rate, you're wise to prepare and perhaps even take cover...

Gershon, yes, I have noticed that a red sunrise can mean a rainy day or even a storm for someone around. We did not have any bad weather but others around got some stormy weather. We got some wind and thunder, but I don't think it even rained. Thanks for the visit. Sara K

It's funny with the saying a fullmoon out tonight might be trouble. I've no knowledge over what the signs are, but sometimes I wish everyday was perfect; a little cool. Enjoyed reading, Sara. Bless you

Yes, a lot of sayings are just that sayings and there is no truth in them, but some sayings actually do mean something. Thanks for dropping by. I appreciate the kind review of my work. Sara K
