Yesterday evening
Sitting together, sunset neared
A cloud cornucopia made memorable skyscapes
Layers of thinnish cloud-whites
Highlighted against deepened azures
Wind-tossed lingerings
Shapes evolve ~ as intricate webworks
Seemingly elastic
Heads tilted back
Our eyes gaze - seeing
racing contrails aloft
Passenger jet plumes
Remains stitched-in exhaustively
Headed in a hurry south bullets
Their nextings unimportant
To our shore perch sensing place
And West . . .
One tiring, sparkling Sun slowly
Dismisses this calendar date
Teasing through bandish low hung clouds
Momentarily ducking out of sight
Then demanding its
Final dazzling shine before us
A last beautiful curtain call
An obvious cool
Wraps around now
Gone the solar radiance
Some distant cloudlings drink-up
Fleeting pastels bashfully showing off
New alluring hues only to assume
Grays as darkness waltzes toward night
Along the Pacific Coast
