A Day in the Life of the Blue Bay Sky
(Described by a set of five haiku poems and pictorials)
The day begins ..... The sunlight's peeking through.
Starting to peek through,
Sunrise sparking a new day,
A new day dawning.
Essence of the day ..... Suddenly, color.
I spy a glider,
In his armchair in the sky,
Fly by glider fly.
As day progresses ..... clouds come out to play.
Clouds up in the sky,
White cotton balls at play,
Soon, they will drift by.
Close to the end ...... The sun readies to sleep
Painted by a God,
Pastel art shaped in delight,
Immerse in the sight.
Day's end ..... The sky bleeds red to bid goodnight.
The red sky I see,
Looks like the sky bleeds tonight,
What an awesome sight.

I didn't quite get the poem at first, but I read the comment about the images, and I went back. This is different in a good way, the pictures helped me flow with the writings.Nice one Calvin.
I loved this journey through the day and the haikus provide just enough detail for each transition. Calming.
Beautiful visuals Calvin
