timmy's poetry - 61. Skyscrapers and Clouds

Two poems about clouds, written using AC Benus' Skycraper Form... thanks for sharing it AC!

 

1.

Woven mats

of thick gray clouds block out

the weak winter sun, and so her heat

Leaving us with desperate darkness and cold nights

The sun will come warming us again

lighting our days with bright,

sweet ardor

 

 

 

2.

Whales of gray

clouds drift past my windows

blown by on fierce seas of gusty wind

While the sun teases and taunts us with golden rays

The first cold of winter is triggered

and as the first flakes fall

i think spring

Thanks for reading these. Hope you enjoyed them.

These poems full of imagery the reader can almost grab for. The descriptions are beautiful. Showing the change of season and weather. This set of poems is meaningful to me tim. I used to stare in the sky endlessly. Clouds always fascinated me. Thank you for reminding me of their beauty. Much love xoxo

Thank you very much, AC.  It's a great form.. it seems simple, but it's more of a challenge than people may think.

Awesome imagery, the pallor , strength and enormity of the winter skies build with each syllable and line , then fall gently into light . Two very evocative works.

Whales of grey 

clouds drift past my window

****

I think a pod of whales likes to stop in front of my windows to have long chats. :P 

 

Your words come alive as images in my mind. 

 

Well done, tim, well done! :thumbup:
