In the Clouds

In The Clouds A sweet morning is the Sun peeking, peeking the clouds swaying , playing but not leaking A cool breeze birthed by clouds and their fruits just as the apple comes from tree and its roots A great day is under a tree watching the clouds thinking of earth and the mysteries it shrouds A great storm brewing silently so very far away God and Nature dancing in a life renewing play A fine night is often those cloudless skies glittering stars striking the awestruck eyes The moon hides behind a cloud in a blanket dares to peep around and not even thank it Clouds are ships bringing such precious rain Beautiful oceans above bleeding again and again Robert J. Lindley 07/28/2014 No haiku, not written for the contest but the contest sponsor did inspire me to write this.. Thanks!

Great write my friend. Like how you capture the clouds from different points in the day they bring it all together....Tim

Dear Robert, I love the way you describe the moon hiding behind the cloud blanket. So many beautiful lines here! I think you have captured more than a haiku ever could. Give me rhyme anytime and please give us some rain as well. It's 105 degrees today here! Unfortunately, the clouds are not "leaking." Love, Carolyn
