POEM - If the sky at night is red

If the sky at night is red

As the street lights start to flicker
With the fading of the sun
The clouds above the mountain tops
Starting to blend as though they’re one

The grey clouds seem to glow
The clouds look very strange
It looks just like a fire
With hints of red and orange

They say tomorrow will be fine
If the sky at night is red
So many children pray for this
Before they go up to bed
