Sky, Sky, Sky, Can't See it All at Once

Hello and Happy June! This month we are talking about sky. Is there anything more miraculous or inspiring?

The words in the subject line of this post are lyrics from this song by Ben Sollee.

Back in 2013 I chose "sky" as my One Little Word. Here's why.  

That year I got in the habit of photographing the sky every day. I loved that practice! I still take sky pics fairly regularly.

One of my favorite passages about sky is found in the book Life of Pi by Yann Martel. You can read the excerpt here. 

Here's a writing prompt about sky.

One of my favorite poems about sky is “Sky Story” by Rebecca Kai Doltish from One Minute Till Bedtime, edited by Kenn Nesbitt.

And here's a "sky" quote I discovered in The Poetry Friday Anthology and love to this day:

"One of my teachers told me, 'Never let a day go by without looking on three beautiful things.' I try to live up to that and find it isn't difficult. The sky in all weathers is, for me, the first of these three things."  - David McCord

What are your three beautiful things today?

I've also written quite a few ArtSpeak! poem about the sky. Here's a sampling. Enjoy!
