Cloud watcher Annette Birdsall, heard about the Cloud Appreciation Society from a friend and sent us her 50 word poem. We’ve paired it with a an image of Altocumulus floccus creating layers of reflection by way of Round Lake, Idaho, US © Jane Hutchings
Mercurial Clouds
peaceful wisps billowing across the sky
excited bursts piercing through
happy little cotton-candy tufts
comforting cover seemingly over the whole world
angry thunderous darkness brilliant with shards of light
dreamy drifting lolling pillowy fluff
depressed dreary damp endless days
… such mercurial beauty in the moodiness of clouds
