About This Poem

Hammocks of the Sky

Clouds sweep down to kiss the ground
Drifting o're the breast of morn
Like a sheet slips on thy skin
'Til pillowing noontime skies...


Craig Cornish written 8/28/2012
For Nette Onclaud's Tanaga contest

    I like the comparison of the sheet slipping...and love the line "Drifting o're the breast of morn"...I'll not look at the morning clouds the same again. Congrats on your win !!
