The Sky Was
The Sky Was - meaning Summary
Childlike Sensory Wonder
The poem presents a playful, imagistic vision of the sky transformed into a confection of colors and flavors. Through brief, fragmented lines and surprising word pairings it evokes childlike sensory delight—pinks, lemons, greens, chocolate—then shifts to a whimsical, slightly surreal image of a locomotive "spouting violets." The tone is imaginative and celebratory, inviting readers to see the everyday sky as a vividly edible, kinetic spectacle.
