Why not send us your own cloud poetry? Remember to include your full name and where you live.
From Ryan C. Dayrit
Sucat, Muntinlupa. Philippines. Clouds Don’t you ever wonder what clouds are made for? Why are they around? Even they themselves couldn’t tell. These angels seem to float around and bump into each other only by chance on where the wind would blow them to. Some just pass through while some generate a powerful, unexplainable energy […]

Dallas, Pennsylvania U.S. Ode to Clouds. Travel with my eyes the beings under the stars That pull with wind, shade in Sun, make shapely billowing white sheets colored before night A landscape of the heavens Reflection of oceans Wanderers of open sky! © Kathleen Bednarek. February 2009

Bournemouth U.K. Clouds. A cloud is a thing of beauty A wonder to behold It brings to all a sense of joy As its many facets unfold Its moods can be solemn and angry Or welcoming and bright Such are the changes we can see From morning until night Cumulus,Cirrus and Stratus are names we […]

U.S. (spring weather report in the midwest, 4/2004) Storm grey system responds wolfishly to our juicy subductive depression— mares’ tails & question marks above, wondering if the air’s as rich and stimulating over there, as here. Only way to know is to leave Spokane and the Montana waste places, to […]
From Fog.
Kangaroo Cloud Starkly on pale blue, bleached sun, cloud blotched, puffy white fluffy flumps, statically sit, in azure stable. A single cloudlet, singlet white perfect , thinned then fogged, then volume vanished; a pace away, re-thickens. A gust then weaves, a kangaroo shape, its tail wind wagging, then slow float, to mist as if, to […]
From Cynthia Stamps.
Foggy Night An afternoon of mist, that’s nearly kissed the sun.. but not, I fear.. settles in the hedgerow’s shadows thick.. and snuggles and obscures the thistle sticks.. hastening to glisten upon the trees, before slowly sinking to their knees.. to disappear just then. All hints of stars or red of Mars reduced to white, […]
