Clouds Do Not Exist

CLOUDS   DO   NOT   EXIST


Clouds do not exist  - I know, it’s *****.
They're only parts of the atmosphere 
Where the moisture is visible, but it’s
Only a temporary condition - just bits
Of air kinda dampish and soon drying
Out and that’s the end -  the  dying  -
Of those great white fluffy things
That fly without the need for wings.
Imagine them as castles in the air
Or dragon monsters from their lair
As unreal figments of imagination, 
But they’re  still just white pigmentation
From reflected light coming in from somewhere :
Because really - they’re just not there.
