From Sam Stilton

Its just white… Is that all I can see up there? Are clouds nothing but white in the air? As I look and I see, I smile with glee, For a small bird has decided to target me…….

From Nick Houvras

in West Bloomfield, MI, US. Your Face I saw your face in the clouds one day; wise, thoughtful and smiling! I saw you face from far away crossed by a jet’s vapor trail so what can one say? An angel, a blessing, a curse or despair? I know full well that no one will remember […]

in Tulsa, OK. USA / Halifax, Nova Scotia. O Cirrus ! In the silence lifting on the breath of heaven the temporal cirrus and tossing crown the lowest of heaven’s aspirations a leaving of royal weaving found Yet, my heart is drawn upward, cirrus ! while gazing at the fabric torn high above earth’s unneeded […]

From Christopher Horner

From Carol Burton

Intense, unfathomed, glowing blue Is backdrop to this shifting show. The clouds in three dimensions move To fascinate us here below. And […]
