A Cloudy Poetry Friday!
I need a title....any ideas?
joni said it all
or did she?
how many sides do clouds have?
from the ground up
overcast lower stratus
stormy cumulo-nimbus
dark and threatening
troubled and ominous
obscuring the real issues
in our minds made murky
by this cloudland
of upper haze
suspended
condensed
and evaporated
a swirling funnel-
but -
we can vault
through the vortex
and land
on light cotton balls
billowing like sails on a Clipper
blissful and elated
on cloud nine
cirrus
the highest heaven
Paradise
is there a cloud ten?

I come here for a breath of fresh air. Lovely poem. I like Steve's title.

I'm trying to come up with a better title than Steve's. I am not succeeding.

Ah, that Steve- always the first to come up something and no one can top him.
Lovely poetry and beautiful photos.

Hi! What lovely pics of sky and tornado(?). I've never experienced one before and I hope I do not have to!

First of all; lovely pictures and then a very good poem!
I was thinking shape of skies is like shape of snow flakes. They are endless and uncountable.

Another stunning poem M.O.I. I sort of like 'Is There a Cloud 10?' for a title, the last line in your poem. You are such a word artist, wow!!

Steve: Great title! Yeah, you're surely The Wizard of OOOZ the way words come out of you!
Jocelyn: Thanks..me too.
Nancy: Glad I give you healthy air! Thanks. Steve's so funny and quick...check out his blog.
Meno: Me neither!
Gewels: Steve pulls throuh again! Thanks!
Topchamp: Thanks...Poetry Fri. is always interesting.
Twilite: Yes it's a tornado...we've had a few around here and you don't want to experience one! I have nightmares about them.
Renny: Never two the same! Thanks.
Lynclay: Thanks for the kind words! Neat that an artist like you thinks of a writer as a word artist!
Teri: Thanks...try the poetry Friday sometime. You'd probably come up with some interesting takes on the words.

Lovely photos and poem. I like STeve's and Lynclay's title ideas. Of course, there's always some variation of Joni's title - "Both Sides Now and Then" or something.

David: Thanks! Ha! Joni's the best and I couldn't even begin to approach her depth. Titles are sometimes hard to pin. I usually start out with one and then change it after I've finished. Yeah, I do like Steve's and Lynclay's.

I never tire of watching the sky and the clouds. They always are a reminder of how very small we really are in the true scheme of things.

Love clouds. Always a new pattern, a new sight, a new thought. Nice words about the clouds.

Coll: And the sky is never the same way twice. The cycle of weather never ends.
Brooksba: I just love to fly above them and through them...except if there's bad turbulance!
