Our Sky
Which statement BEST describes the theme
of this poem?
Palest colors tint the wakening sky,
While black seeps away with its starry night
Like an ocean tide slipping off the beach
As pink and lavender spread the dawn's light.
Gazing at the sky is a relaxing way to spend
the day.
The sun arises like an eager child
Tossing off covers from this newest day,
Making the sky brighten with hints of blue
That bloom the azure of a sun-sparked bay.
There are many variations in the sky
throughout the day.
Wisps of clouds like heavenly feathers drift
Lazily across a blue painted sky,
And as hard as they try, no bird can perch
Upon thready clouds, all floating on high.
Storm clouds in the sky can spoil a fun day.
Birds enjoy soaring through clouds in the sky.
Then one by one puffy clouds dot the sky
Joining and forming dreamy myth-bred shapes
Of lions that paw the earth down below
And dragons that hide beneath their cloudy capes.
