cotton candy clouds

crawl across

grayscale skies

a whispered warning

before night falls

My sky was amazing two - pink fingers across blue sky.

I love those cotton candy clouds, DH calls them white puffy clouds and they are his favorite.
We have been blessed with evenings like this almost every day lately. It's heavenly.

Beautiful poem...
