Analysis of Why Sky



A Salmon sky is one for fishing
Especially if one hauls romance

Whereas a Peach sky tends to influence melancholia
For all the bittersweet memories of past bountiful fall harvests

Either Crimson, Scarlet or Rose morning skies do more than serve a sailor’s warning
For they also bring fiery passion to other encounters

While a Tangerine or Orange sky leads to many a pucker
And kissing suckers that grace the waterways

Burgundy, Cherry, Claret or Fuchsia skies at night might give some delight
Yet they also cause quite a fright for those who’d spite
