Red Sky

Drowning in bird song
in the early morning,
I watch the gulls rise,
white shadows
over rose-water meadows.

The gorgeousness of "rose water meadows"

and that beautiful photo - perfect peaceful images to go to sleep on.

As long as our mate Sue Gee hasn't written anything miserable. Still reading her, still loving her!

Beautiful images you paint for us, Alice! And a very different beauty from how my morning is looking today.

As my little brother always said as a child, in that delightful not-quite-Staines accent he has,
"Red sky, shepherds' pie".

Beautiful photo. I hadn't realised that there was a difference between red skies at home and red skies over here until I saw it.

rosso di sera
ble tempo si spera

in English kind of goes like
red sky at night
shepherd's delight

Beautiful words and a lovely image - thank you for that.

It's been a stunning spring day here - hurrah!

Welcome to ChezMagpie, Monica. The words of your poem are delightful - much more romantic than our shepherds with their morning warnings!
