Topsham, Maine Few Few are the moments that just are; when the sky shimmers through velvet air, when the heart of the universe whispers, and the field sways, when the sun is your soul, and always was, its warmth on closed eyelids – the deep sleep you’ve been missing all your long, short life, and […]

from Fall River, MASSACHUSETTS USA CLOUDS I lay down on the lush, green grass looking up at the celestial sky watching clouds perform as they go floating by. The sky’s theater sets the stage as clouds pass through on their merry way entertaining my eyes with wispy surprise as I journey from earth on mystical […]

Life Without Passion is Unforgivable… In the words of my Hero, ‘I’m like a bat-out-of-hell’… My vacation’s back on due to fervent ground-swell! I’ve been worried for weeks that I’d not see those clouds, but my prayers have been answered by the wild, baying crowds. People say I’m a moron for endorsing this struggle, But […]

From Rebecca Charlotte Williams

of Dubai, UAE What is a Cloud? A cloud is a fluffy white kitten on a soft blue blanket. A cloud is a sail on a sailboat drifting through calm waters. A cloud is a magical sheep flying in the sky. Clouds are sun parasols shading us from the sun’s scolding rays. They are eco-friendly […]

East Midlands, U.K. HAIKU – 2 the sky a thunderous black – summer leaves tremble in anticipation upturned to the sun flecks of white on brown leaves – autumn has arrived speeding panther clouds leap across the wasteland of a cerulean sky the cloud – a tuft of cotton wool lingering on the sky’s fitted […]
