Cloud

Mass liquid condensed in atmosphere sky. Cloud color from vapor and refracted light. Four classes make up clouds Low, Middle and High. More exist as plasma and gas far from sight. Two classes stratus and cumulus are they. The stratus layered, the cumulus, pile shaped. High clouds reach far above wispy, icy faint. Low Clouds live close to ground in a foggy taint. In between the middle clouds, say moisture soon. The last clouds vertical up-current, and cool. Clouds can go fast or slow thunderstorm clouds set, a speed of 60 miles per hour at best. High clouds which ride a jet stream move faster still. Ice crystals form as snow in the freezing chill. Light descends discharged from cumulus hosts. When static charges cloud and ground make bolts. Rain is born sea moisture dispelled and packed. Fall and give life to all then repeat the act. Earth's surface cools by way of giving off heat. At night cooler air from sea makes a breeze. The cloud looks down upon the world it has kept, with water nourishment as our blanket spread.
