Exceptional Sky watching over me Following Me Home by Verna Cole Mitchell Free Verse Poem contest entry Artwork by seshadri_sreenivasan at FanArtReview.com

Wisps of lavender clouds Trailed the bright pink circle Of afternoon sun, Keeping golden watch Over my travels. Sunset, fading to palest mauve, Followed me home. Beyond the vanishing pastel Arose a tiny sliver of moon, Like an eyelash lying neath a closed eye. From inside her purple cloak, Studded with sparkling diamond stars, The splinter of vanilla orb Watched over me all the way Till I was safely home.
