September Skies - Published Cambridge News 15 and 25 October 2013


September Skies


Great burgeoning clouds with indigo base
Armada of galleons sailing on high
Endless succession in stately procession
Proudly parading across the sky

Tumultuous shapes in towering billows
Gilt edged lace expanding frills
Exploding from colossal  pillows
Mushrooming vapour and ephemeral hills  

Dancing a continuous slow quadrille
Serenely moving with changing shapes
Bellying  full of glittering raindrops
Are cumulous mountains and valleys and lakes

With ominous approaching  threat
Dark treacherous shadow from horizons advance
           Then spreading dazzling fanned out rays           
          Miraculous sunlight will through this lance            

And from this black and menacing cloud
A vivid arc of rainbow glows
With  brilliant sunlight refracting the colour
By magic as if from no where arose
