Why not send us your own cloud poetry? Remember to include your full name and where you live.
From Wayne Paton.
Playground of imagination One day my mom, dad and me, went to a beach, down by the sea. In the sand, I carved a bed, where I lay, my tired head. As I looked up, into the sky, white magic carpets, drifted by. As they moved, their shape did change, into the wonderous, or very […]
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 […]

The Silent Dance Grey, fast moving sky, Dense blanket clouds, tearing, Releasing gold patches From the clear sky above. And in the turbulence, In its dips and hollows, Seabirds crest the thermal waves Riding the wind, Weaving a silent dance In an empty sky, Secretly, just for me, Alone outdoors. . 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 […]
