Am I Cirrus. Am I Cirrus Spiralled and curly Like fingers scratching above Am I cumulus Classic and flossed Adding colour to the bright blue sky Am I stratus Covering, enveloping Cotton wadding the heavens As I mutate and change with the wind Giving light and darkness to days Whitening and lightening Or soaking in […]

KAUSWAGAN CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY PHILIPPINES. 2 Clouds Rollmop stratocumulus- so usually there, so easy and so common, but just so much hot air.
