Postmeridian Cynosure Reflected in Morning Light
Pink clouds reflect morning sunrise
Above the mountain purple skies
Reaching to touch the morning star
A black ribbon afar
Space touches the planet breath
Then exhaling the night's death
We stir and sigh, the dreaming over
Yet not wanting to rise, we turnover
The morning light proclaims red skies take warning
With a hint of moisture and storming
Still the afternoon sun burns away the clouds
To leave behind sticky shrouds
Of summer's blanketing heat
The angry sun replete
We whir and sigh, the workday over
Longing to chase our postmeridian cynosure
Waiting for buses and subways
To take us to down highways
While thunder claps and storms gather
Wringing moisture into a lather
Flinging down hail and rain
We feel electricity in a vein
We dance and cry, the thunderstorm over
Shaking off raindrops, no need to take cover.

wow amazing
Your description of the cloud is so perfect ,
This is my first time of seeing the word :"whir"
The sensation of twirling in the wind. ;-)
Beautiful poem @wordymouth and I learned 2 new words. We had one heck of a storm last night which flooded my bathroom but no hail thank goodness.

Thank you for the read and the prompt. I had never used cynosure, but it helped me make a point in one word.
It was the perfect word to use and you used it in a perfect place. : )
