Colour Before The Rain.

"Already it is Mid November, a time of transitions and changes. Yes, the colour of Autumn has gone, and seasonally it is still Autumn, that being said the landscape has changed and with that, the trees are a little bit more bare, the landscape is looking a lot less green. However though Autumn can be surprising, and it can also have some incredibly dramatic sunsets, and this is a poem that is based about a glorious sunset that took place on Tuesday the 18th of November 2025 which created a delightful magical sight, and moments after the sunset what happened? The rain arrived and the sky turned grey and dark. But there was something magical about a fleeting moment of colour within the sky, before things went darker and the rain began to fall."

"Colour Before The Rain."

A November afternoon and what do I see shining outside, even if it is just momentarily? A beautiful orange glow, a November sunset show, the light shining delicately before the rain, for a November sunset glow, an afternoon light show - this is Colour Before The Rain. 

Looking out the window and what do I see? A glow that lights up the sky, a pretty kind of Orange lights up the autumnal November sky, but clouds as well, a hint of Orange towards the west, and that gives me just moments to fly, to see what else is happening in the sky. For eventually I get to the right altitude and across the sky, what do I see, Colour Before The Rain, a band of Orange and Gold to the west, for an Autumnal sunset really is the best. 

Autumnal sunset in the mid November sky, and a looming cloud cover of grey, for rain is on the way, at the moment I can feel the gentle spots of rain, but I know what is incoming, but in the distance I see on the horizon, an orange glow, a November sky, a work of art, a work of beauty, the orange glow, a light show as the sun slowly begins to slip away - for here is the Colour Before The Rain. 

The Colour Before The Rain, a magical sight to see, an orange glow lights up the sky, even if it is for a moment, to capture it I must fly, and from above I see, a magical glow, a November light show as it shines across the rooftops of suburbia,

And the Valley in the distance it looms below, and ahead of me, is that delightful orange glow, for this is of course Colour Before The Rain, a beautiful work of art, the light is orange and bright, for a November light show, an Autumnal sunset has a certain way of making and creating magic, before the end of the day, for that orange glow, has elements of gold I know, a beautiful shimmer of light, just for a moment shines, before the clouds arrive, before the rain falls even more and the end of the day, a magical sight to see, is Colour Before The Rain. 

Spectacular it has been to see, the light show must fade away, a moment capturing a scene, as the November autumnal rain begins to fall, I bring the camera down from the sky, the light show fades away, a moment in time has been captured, of a delightful light show, an orange and golden glow, lit up the sky, over suburbia and the valley in the distance below. And the grey incoming sky, for it holds rain, and what did I see before me, but Colour,

A magical colour, a November autumnal light show - and Colour Before The Rain.
