Clouds

The sun radiated it's heat on the warm lazy summers day.
The clouds drifted, in a north westerly direction.
As the clouds meandered, into the suns glow,
the edges of the clouds formed a silver lining.
The clouds looked, fashionable, in their jewel lining.
Drifting at a hurried pace  these clouds drew patterns,
power puff formations .
Creating one picturesque scene after another.
As they peacefully danced out of my sight,
I sat in my chair watching natures show.
A simple pleasurable moment on a perfect afternoon.

I'm a cloud watcher! When I lived in the midwest I watched weather warning clouds. Out west I am spellbound by their white puffy formations. CR

What more could I ask for today? It is a beautiful day the sun shining and birds singing. I am reading your poetry in which you share a little of yourself maybe without even realizing it you have written from your soul. Thank you for sharing your beautiful poetry with us Phyllis. Love, Carol
