PINK SKY

From 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.
