A nice night view of the moonlit “mackerel sky”, Janean … and the verse, if so I may call it, is nicely laconic without leaving out anything that is needed to set the scene, as it were.
Ah … I thought it was common parlance … It’s called that because the clouds seem to resemble the scales of a mackerel, at least in the imagination of some.
I love that description! My father is a fisherman and I joined him as soon as I grew into a lifejacket. Thank you for the explanation. I am all about using one’s imagination. ~Janean

Thank you, kind sir, der W. I’ve never heard the term, “mackerel sky.” Care to enlighten me? Please. ~Janean
