PINK SKY
Kenneth Bartlett 1934 (Leominsterr Mass)
March 23From East to West,
and North to South,
it magically appeared.
Like a dragon yawning,
began today's dawning.
The sky in the East teased
with a hint of pink.
Quick as a wink, a belch
from heaven erupted.
The entire sky was writhing
in a glorious pastel color.
Billows of candy cotton
floated over rooftops.
The South, a wide open mouth,
spewed a roiled effusion of
. wonder. The West was a
powdery gray, except for the
start of a rare solid pink
rainbow, arching. high into the
sky, stopping before night's faint
taunting stars could grasp it.
A signal from an invisible
conductor invoked a legato
crescendo. As quick as it came it
was gone, The pink was taken
away. The morning sky was
again pale gray.
