September sky

I glimpsed blue sky
this morning
through the parted clouds

There was no warmth

It was the colour
of tempered steel

Hardened
Quenched in oil and water

Ground
Sharpened and ready to cut

No line breaks, sorry. You'll just have to imagine them.

I looked at the blue peeping through the clouds this morning and thought it looked cold, too. Your description is perfect for September. 'Ground sharpened ready to cut' - loved that.

Looks the same this evening, Bee. Come down with a rotten cold now. All my own fault, I suppose. On the good news front, the line breaks are back. Urgently in need of Lemsip.

Hope the Lemsip is doing its job, PT.  Mind you, your cold doesn't seem to have affected your writing skills.  Wonderfully atmospheric;  your choice of vocabulary spot on, as is vital  in a short, and to the point piece, such as this.

Much enjoyed, and I hope you're soon feeling much better;-)

Thanks Tina. Appreciated. Had a rotten couple of days. The job doesn't really take any of that into account. Nice of you. x
