I'll Read the Clouds

Lorna

Write me messages

Won't you?

To the clouds is where I'll look

 

Scrawl with the puffs of wind

You use as your pen

Shape your initials in the sky

 

Text me as I walk by looking up

Code me your advice

In the form of dotted lines

 

Wake me with mackerel scales

And send the weeping rain

With nimbus

 

Send me a cumulus of your thoughts

And a mare's tail

As a day's goodbye

    You read those clouds, Lorna? I tried to, but it was a cloudless sky. I wondered why I didn't get very far with it, doh! heehee. A fine write there.

    • Lorna

      It's elusive!

      A superb write - love every word and into favs - first for a long time.

        Good write, so many do not look up and there are so many great messages in the clouds.

          A great write, Lorna!
          Clouds always fascinated
          me! One of my favorite
          units in our school science
          curriculum to teach seven
          year olds! They were in awe! The names fascinated them! I enjoyed the read very much!
