Gravy Gravy Cloud © Mark Peacock Jr. I am allowed more cider if I eat my gravy. My dog is called Ray and he is massive. My Zafirra is broken but it is not making me cry. I am taller than a bin with things in it. I like the sky because it is blue. […]

Fair Weather Feathered Friend (My Cloud is My Bird) by Mark Peacock © 2007 I could say I’ll love you until the day the stars fall from the sky, but I wouldn’t want that as it might spoil the clouds nearby. I should say I would move any mountain for you, but that wouldn’t be […]

There goes a giraffe, followed quickly by an elephant and a dog; […]

From Amy Whitewick
Wiltshire, UK The Cloud Oh, fluffy cloud, So flat, so small, Surrounded by An azure pool. Suddenly you grow bigger, Making me shout , Look out, There’s rain about. Heavier you grow, Dark as dusk, Stretching across, Like a mammoth tusk. Slowly you fall to ground, Drip, drip, drip, Making a splattering sound. And there […]
From William J. Houston
Wilson, N.C. Clouds of Emotions The cumulus hordes the sky with it overpowering dominance, blending the wind, light and rain to create its earthly ambiance The darkness reflecting the spirit of my mood, a lighting flash exposing a soul that needs soothed. Within its cavernous body eruptions of sound echo loudly, mimicking a newborn announcing […]
From Karl Stuart Kline
LIBERATION Today I saw Death come riding by, On dress parade through the sky. With helm of ivory and cloak of fine bleached silk, He rode a giant stallion that was as white as milk, On his way to free some poor soul from the bonds of life and earth, To which he had been […]
