This poem was written after opening an email from the Cloud Appreciation Society by Sun-Hee Yang (Member 47,842), a poet based in South Korea who has loved clouds since she was a little girl. It is part of a collection called A Date in Spring which was published in the summer of 2021. She also sent this image to accompany her poem.
Clouds delivered
From a place I wish to be
Cloud river
Cloud mountains
Cloud tree
Cloud whale
Cloud cat
Cloud book
With grace, I open the package.
Pull out the clouds one by one.
Cloud catching
Innocent self
I walk back out
Becoming light, over the clouds.
