The Orange Sky Above Poem by louis rams

(12/12/12)

I woke up this morning and it was as
Beautiful as can be- a sunlit orange sky
Staring down at me.

The sky was all orange with patches
Of light and dark blue
I felt like I was in a pumpkin patch
MY! What a glorious view.

The breeze started moving the clouds ever so fast
OH! How I wished this morning would last.
As the morning wore on it turned a baby light blue
To start the day fresh and new.

As the sun started rising to change the day
The birds in the air were beginning to play
A sight like this couldn't get much better
Where heaven and earth were joining together.
