Bright colors   

shoot from the sky

 An array of

perfect purple

bubbly blue

primrose pink

revealing red and

outrageous orange

spread out through the sky.

The sun a red ball of light,

the largest it is all day happens now.

the dark, fluffy, airy clouds

float over the sun,

causing me to stare in awe.

Even living here,

for fifteen years,

you can never get enough of that

Kansas

sunrise

and sunset.
