Clouds
Clouds are droplets of water and ice,
some look ominous, some look nice-
Spending on how the sun reflects,
White, grey or black colors your eye will detect-
Clouds may be at any height above ground,
all different shapes - flat, oval or round-
You see many kinds of them up in the air,
lets look at some and try to compare-
CUMULOUS CLOUDS seldom bring squalls,
are vertically formed like water falls,
and often resemble fluffy cotton balls,
Some see them as popcorn popped high in the air-
About 6,000 feet up-being higher is rare-
Stratus CLOUDS, they're flat you see,
looking like spider webs strung tree to tree,
or like stretched out taffy between you and me,
Gray in color these cloud lie low-
But can still bring hill fog and drizzles though-
CIRRUS CLOUDS far away they lie,
with an altitude at least 20,000 feet high,
mostly ice crystals floating up in the sky,
Appearing like thin wispy curls of hair-
They indicate weather change, but usually fair-
NIMBUS CLOUDS are full of water and frightening,
as their looming dark towers begin heightening,
accompanied by loud thunder and lightning,
Warning that soon rain's going to be here -
Their distance away can be far or near-
