Clouds

sue.evans

Stretching fingers across the blue

Reaching, searching for an end 

You never find as you travel the skies,

Never sleeping, always moving, journey never done,

Drifting shadows across the sun

Like the drifting thoughts that cloud my mind,

Sailing the seas up above

Pushed and pulled by the tides of heaven,

Ghostly outlines, silently passing

Bestowing their blessing on the land,

Bringing gifts to some, cruelty to others,

Rain for the farmers, drought for his fellow man,

Shape shifting - stirring the imagination-

Whales swimming, fishes flying, dragons breathing fire,

Bright and breezy at sunrise in the east

Iridescent, shimmering at sunset in the west,

A witches coven brewing, dressed in black,

Temper tantrums thundering on the air way

The population of Earth's ceiling at play.

      This is wonderfully descriptive. I strive to be a poet capable of such imagery. Well done, and thanks for this!

        You may like to read my poem 'Tears' and 'Opus of Love' they too try to use imagery - not saying successfully but I rather like them for the imagery.

          A poets pride in his literature is not a bad thing. I'll give them a read! Give some of mine a go too, if you don't mind.
