Red Sky

by Treischel

When sky turns red
It's often said
The weather can be told

A Red sky Night
Will bring delight
With stars a shining bold

Take as warning
Red in morning
May bring both wet and cold

It's often true
For what to do
Take note, both young and old

My version of the old sailor's adage -
Red sky at night,
sailor's delight.
Red sky in morning
Sailor's warning
