Carolina Blue Sky

The weather is so lovely here today, I just had to compose a poem. I hope you like it.

Carolina Blue Sky
.
We have here a unique phenomenon
the Carolina Blue Sky
mainly visible in Autumn
that invariably elicits a sigh
from all who are privileged to see it
.
It forms a canopy of Robin’s egg hue
from end to end, clear and crisp
except for an occasional cloud
just a few aimless wisps
meandering by without much purpose
.
Perhaps they will join up over the Atlantic
warmed by the Gulf Stream and form rain
but here they only draw fanciful pictures
that only the astute and highly trained
and children are able to discern accurately
.
A dragon with a magician rider
A rabbit eating an ice cream cone
These are the sort of scenes one sees
while stretched out prone to the heavens
on your back on a blanket, especially with a kid
.
And at night we have stars
