One day after work when I had some free time a friend provided me with a prompt to write a poem.
Why the clouds change colour
This first poem was written in 2 minutes and hasn’t been edited.
The Bridal Sun
It shines through a pearl veil
It breaches with colour
Pink then gold then violet
Only the rain makes the sky like charcoal
But on a quiet day
Nothing but white
Or nothing at all
They then challenged me to develop this poem further. As there has been the new Haiku contest by @bananafish out recently I decided to transform it into a haiku, however it turned into a three verse haiku.
The Bridal Sun - Haiku Edition
Dusk dusted pearl veil
Pink then gold then violet sky
And nothing at all
Stormless halcyon
Cloaks heavens quiet patter
Undisturbed stars
Morning mourning shawl
From charcoal to fair chroma
An untouched canvas
Thank You to @Calluna for the beautiful prompt.
