Notes About The Poem

Clouds

Clouds have formed overhead.
Clusters in shades of grey.
Cautious of heavy rain,
Causing deep floods again.
Catastrophic weather.
Closely stay together.
Covered under shelter.

How cute is that picture you’v used here. I love this pleiades for clouds, so powerful and the imagery is striking. I can imagine , catastrophic weather, and staying close together in such situations. I really love the line “ clusters in shades of grey” and must i also remind you, how i admire your rhymes? Just wow! Brilliant take . Goodluck for the contest beautiful poetess

It's an interesting form SV. I'm not too keen on forms that dictate how many lines etc should be used (my thoughts only) but..here you have taken hold of the pleiades form and run with it in a way that for me has highlighted the power of mother nature, and the importance of shelter for everyone. That said, I have to add, too, that the last two lines painted a different picture for me: a 'warm' picture believe it or not of two people walking huddled under an umbrella. Poetry eh? :) Cheers - Gary

I agree wholeheartedly with you Gary. Until I joined Soup last year, I did not know such restrictions on poems existed. I knew to keep a poem concise, and use true rhymes only, the rest was up to the poet. As you probably see when I impose these " letter- word line-Crazy" Syllable rules to my poetry for the most part I just have fun with it. Thanks for your comment, write on dear poet, and so will I.(still only one page !) Cheers.. SV

I absolutely like your Pleiades poem, dear SV,! It is truly enchanting, with the 'C' charm shining beautifully throughout. The way you choose to present your exploration of imagery and interpretations is unique and captivating, the picture of little puppies added a touch of beauty to the whole poem. BOL with the contest

It's always comforting to know all animals have shelter,especially in bad weather conditions.It's a pity that not all are so lucky.Love the picture and your post..Lovely.

Its sadder when children don't have shelter from the weather, and are homeless, but yes you are right Charmaine, with all the wealth in this world all God's creatures should have some shelter from the elements. Thank you for your thoughtful caring comment. SV

Hello my dear SV. First, I said a big ‘arr!’ for that endearing picture. I so love animals, all animals, but especially cute, little puppies. Then, I read your beautiful poem that enhances the picture. So gorgeous! I loved it! Made me :) Thank you so much for sharing. Hugs to you xx
