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… © Sam Stilton
From Darren Harper
Halifax, UK (‘Home of good old Yorkshire clouds’). A short poem about clouds I wandered lonely as a man Through barren streets and towns When all at once I saw a cloud A smile to raise my frowns. The furrowed brow, the sullen eyes Sparkled and came alive When all at once that cloud appeared […]
From Duncan Edwards
Dallas, Texas, US. At the sculpture at the sculpture on a sunday afternoon, in the dream of terrell’s square screen, tending (to feel) blue Quantum Cloud looks like a load of blown sticks, stuck to some bloke on a hill, near stoke like the slag at heron cross, or near the pub* in penkhull. © […]

Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, US. Waft A stately puff chattered (as I sat rooted to the shoreline) until I pulled it down out of the sky into the empty chair next to mine.

From Dr William R Cooper

Look up there!” And I brought my cycle to a stop quite dead. Alas, I had forgotten ancient lessons […]
From Marybeth Holleman

Now all she paints is clouds: cumulus gathering on the door handle – cirrus streaking across bathroom counters – stratocumulus upon the […]
