Clouds In the Corner of My Eye

I look up, what do I see above me Cloud formations shown in awesome new ways Always different the clouds I sure see Layers upon layers they sit, portray I lift up my cares and glories away Beautiful yellows and greys together With a little peach mixed simply within Light in the corner of my eye gathered Brings awe and splendor reflects off my skin The clouds leave my life totally open Russell Sivey Contest: CLOUDS | Sponsor: Barbara Gorelick 8/17/2013

Poets have a way to say what Robert Frost advises to say the common in uncommon ways and that the aim of a poem is song. The line ...Light in the corner of my eye gathered...is song! The little mountain cloud has been festering in my mind for a haiku form, originally I composed a tanka: I wath clouds merge/one into one bigger one/giving themselves up/forgettinhg what was/for what is. Thank you both for loving my little cloud. Haiku become alive to me as I see them living in my heart's eye.
