Secrets In The Sky


This poem grew in the afternoon and is formed from a completely serendipitous event.  I mistyped the word "more"  in the last line and the auto-correct function in Word changed to to "moiré" for me only after I looked away and did something else for a while.  It was such a good change I decided to keep it and I feel really pleased with the result.





Secrets In The Sky  -  07 Ma7 14

Sun secretly rising
Behind a veil of cloud
Air has a tinge of blue
But not in the sky

Afternoon sky
Just grey cloud
Hiding moiré secrets





Sometimes chance plays an important part in life.

      Somehow one letter made all the difference to the feel of the poem.
