Totally amazing, colorful skies, Sylvia. With my touch of insomnia I'm up early to enjoy your skies since mine are still dark.
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to seeing what words of wisdom and humor you have found for us. The skies are great, too.
ReplyDeleteYou sure did manage to capture some wonderful skies despite the rain and all. The trees are gorgeous too. Great Will Rogers quotes, I especially love the one about advertising! :D
ReplyDeleteGolden rays
ReplyDeleteglistening clouds
pewter waves
on resting waters.
But to some ,
it is an uneven sky
beset with clouds
and birds scurrying home
before
the descent of the dark.
Just like a
woman
with hair pulled back,
face in the wind,
celebrating
a great evening,
while
another,
on the same evening,
wildly
shakes her head,
her hair falling forward,
and is frightened
by what she sees
through the
tangled
dark
strands of fate.
Sylvia, your beautiful blue and golden skies are so nice to see.. much better than the gray and rainy skies we have today.
ReplyDeletebe well, be happy
Hugs,
Pam

You always have such a wonderfully diverse selection of skies and wisdom. Love the lava flow of the sun in the first and those very gentle clouds in the second but your poem has me slightly worried. Do I feel some Damocletian swords hanging about?
