Angry Red Sky Poem by Shane Markie

The angry red sky
through the trees it did lie
as I walked the dim paths of the dawn

The blood red with orange
did beckon and gorge
and call forth those memories that spawn

It did drive this scene
through the dark trees it did gleam
as I try to capture for you

I wanted to share
this seemed a bit rare
as this time the memories flew

But the camera can't take
the sullen reds it won't make
in the clash of the dark and the bright

So we're left with words
does seem kind of absurd
but I'll try to splash some mind sight

The memory scenes
recalled like bad dreams
from some youthful adventures of mine

Some you've heard before
the scenes from the core
that jar the memories and signs
