From Kevin.

West Chester, Pennsylvania. US. “(I fly a powered paraglider. Recently, I had a remarkable flight above and among the clouds. This was a first for me, so I commemorated the occasion with this bit of prose. I hope your readers enjoy it.)” Morning Enchantment Morning mist met me as I left the RV. I smiled […]

From Jenni Holt.

Scotland. The Poem was written in Shabroo, a tiny village in the Himalayas, 1979. This lifting cloud… has raised it’s heavenly skirt; and been caught by the wind, unfettered by natural laws,it flies… higher than before. To disperse into the Eternal cyclic rains, from whence it came. Thus embracing Creation in all it’s forms, the […]

Beyond the birds, clouds […]

From Timothy McNeal.

Alzey – Germany. STARS AND CLOUDS Humid masses, pink and gray, rushing, vanish, stay awhile, forming lumps, aim at begetting, generating shapes of wonder. Fable-children, night and day, forever doomed to play, beguile, wish to escape the spheric setting, wanting myth and break asunder. Full of despair they fight their way, drifting along many a […]

Devon, UK. CIRROCUMULIMERICK Cirrocumulus catches the eye: Ice-particle clouds, way up high. You may well lick your lips, Adding salt to your chips, But you can’t eat a mackerel sky. © Celia Warren 2007.
