Cloud Story. Tumbling clouds in sunlight sky, That’s a sight to watch go by. Strange stories are revealed. A lady flees from a dragon’s lair All flying skirts and windblown hair. Then! Through the scene of filtered light, Speeds her champion, a mighty knight, Riding bold upon a creature strange. Unnamed. Untold. No sound of […]
From Sheila Desmond.
New York City. ”Ever stood for a moment” Ever stood for a moment looking up at the clouds noticing their shapes colors, movement configurations constantly shifting relative locations in space? Ever stood for two moments and wondered what it might feel like to lie down on some of those soft cloud beds up there taking […]
From Muphen R.Whitney.
Westminster, Maryland U.S. On the Sex of Clouds The clouds glowered, All gunmetal gray and threatening. They lowered their booms All might and fright. Beyond the clouds’ darkness lay A deep and endless azure sky — beckoning The world to its sunshine and warmth. The clouds spat out rain in protest Angry drops ratatatting on […]

Anchorage Alaska. Visit Marybeth’s site The Painter’s House. At first, the horizon began sinking lower on the canvas, far beyond the rule of thirds.

Drew from Maidstone UK. Drifting Vapours. Do clouds sleep as they stroll the skies? While their haunting beauty is outlined by full moon Yet with morning dew still on the ground They awaken without a yawn, stretch or sound With life not always knowing that they are there They look down with a devious stare […]
From Dr Wm. R. Cooper.
Ashford, Middlesex, UK. How I became a Cloudspotter. I was pedalling my bicycle along a country lane, Quite oblivious to the sky above my head, When a shout went up, “That cloud, sir! That cloud, sir! Look up there!” And I brought my cycle to a stop quite dead. Alas, I had forgotten ancient lessons […]
From Cynthia Miller Mims.
Houston, Texas. US. What I See I love to look up toward the Heavens, hoping to catch a glimpse of GODS Face, watching the clouds as they pass by, showing me tiny pieces of His— Glory. You see, as I watch I am greeted by the most awesome sites, clouds I believe are telling me […]
