From Davide Riccio.
Torino (Italy) CLOUDSPOTTING I observe the veils flowing Between us and the mount of gods Yun that is The union of Yin and Yang If I live life With my heads in the clouds It’s not because Of the western blue-sky thinking Of some cloudless monotony I don’t judge anyone I only observe the veils […]
From Tony Kendrick
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.

A bell chimes As in gone-by times……. ********************* Steam engine of bygone days Puffs its clouds across the lake Disappearing, reappearing. Reappearing, disappearing. Mountainous outlines […]

From Andrew Barrett.
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 […]
