The Dirigible Balloon
Poetry for Children

Mountain Wave Sunrise

Bright red orange bursts on the horizon while
Pink clouds dance across the sky and
Apricot pink clouds float.
Giant fluffy light magenta clouds stretch to the mountains,
fading into lavender, gray and white.

A glorious start to the day
Bathed in rose and tangerine light.
