Noble asked me to participate with her in writing poetry this past summer as a practice exercise for her. We were to do one each week. I wrote for two weeks, she lasted only one. Oh well. It was fun anyway.
Here's my second poem, followed by photos to illustrate.
My Classification of Clouds
30 May 2020
First: flat, grey, endless opaque oppression
sun blocking, soul sucking, spirit squashing
cool, maybe warm, deceitful
Second: shimmering sylphs in diaphanous veils
wispy, lacy, rippling, translucent
ethereal shreds and strings
gauzy ghosts afloat
Third: towering, billowing, bulging, blooming, blowing
white, grey, black
playing peek-a-boo with the sun
dropping rain, flashing lightening, booming thunder
piling up, blowing over, moving on
enlivening, rejuvenating
Fourth: fleecy, fluffy, fanciful bright puffs
shapeful, shading, lazy
drifting, driven, floating, fleeing
benign, full of light
