Sevenling (pink sky)
pink sky at gloaming
a phenomenon, sun streams
lengthening, dust particles scattering
sailors and shepherds of old
delighted in this sight, foretelling
fair weather, clear skies due west
but I just think it’s pretty

The elements of the Sevenling are:
1. a heptastich, a poem in 7 lines made up of 2 tercets followed by a single line.
2. metered at the discretion of the poet.
3. unrhymed.
4. composed with 3 complimentary images in the first tercet and 3 parallel images in the second tercet. The end line is a juxtaposed summary of the 2 parallels, a sort of “punchline”.
5. the poem should be titled “Sevenling: (first few words of poem).

sometimes it just pays to sit back and not read the skies for signs of anything – but rather, just exhale …. and enjoy 🙂

I agree! Where I live the weather changes on a dime. One minute a raging storm, the next clear, blue skies and sunshine!!!
