From Daniel Roest.
Clouds Now I feel And love The subtle Seductive light Of your gifts. Clouds, Simply clouds In changing shapes A windswept, living painting Of air and water And light Thank you Who’s to say If anyone on this God-forsaken freeway Got it while driving? Surely they must have said, At least, “What a day,” While […]

Lines 1. Lung Ta Lung Ta, wind horse, symbol of speed, left to endure Tibetan clouds – cloth to cold wind, multi-colour, cotton or silk tied to long strings… their prayer flags woven in peace & compassion to blow upwards as offerings to the Divine on mountain tops between Lhasa & Kathmandu… like an infinite […]

i stopped to watch the rain today fall helplessly from the sky, drizzle down through sunday’s sleep feel the cloud’s heart cry painted from the window seat, a scene as life goes by, feel the meloncholy of which it speaks, without confusion as to why. © CHIIPMUNK. 2007

East Sussex, UK BEYOND THE CLOUDSPOTTER’S GUIDE. Who should now delineate the armorial of clouds? There are the numerable species and their principal conformations, but not one is stable.

From Rebbla.
Sussex UK. A LAST JUDGEMENT His memory’s first clouds denied him salvation, louring over flames and massed swathes of fugitives. The panorama left no space within the frame for shelter. Terror spread wide beyond the gilding. He would never read the legend, always rushing past into futures where clouds stilled his thoughts in dread. © […]
From Jonathan Freeman.
East Sussex, United Kingdom A Cloud Sonnet Clouds of the skies are nothing like the sun Rain proves more cooling than what shade they shed A brilliant moon grants a victory won And the way through the snow has more solid a tread But you, you are so fair, so free Flowers spared weeds or […]
From Stephen Schaffhauser.
Contrails. What would Howard if, when towered Cumuli or Cirri flowered, what would he have thought or written, if, above the fields of Britain, up on high, and playful as an Ahrimanic kitten, he had seen stretch right across the blue contrails from aeroplanes? But never flew aught but dragonfly then,and birds and bats, and […]
