Chinese Dragon Cloud

The Chinese dragon was filling up the sky
I stared as he travelled, faster than most clouds
He bumped into a lamb and a frog; they scooted.
Grayer now, he makes a viable storm cloud

I marvel at his swiftness to getting somewhere
His ability to change the dynamics of the sky
He is recruiting other clouds now, 
He has turned them into a flying gray circus tent

Within ten minutes, the sky is deepening her darkness.
I search for my umbrella, anticipating the rain we need
Alas, the clouds move to the west, giving another state rain.
I am left with a blue sky, thinking of the Chinese dragon.

Imaginings of the Chinese dragon - the clouds at his command. Fun.

Caren, this is a delightful poem. I love to cloud-watch, and I, too, find animal shapes that lend themselves to stories. Very nice!

I love watching the personality of clouds; they are so daring!
