Wonderful poem Crystol, which brings to my mind the pleasure that watching clouds brings, as it releases you from a kind of prison (logic's patina) into the mist of imagination...also, there's a interesting duality - clouds above and, in parallel, shadows below. Could be a metaphor...white and floaty above, dark and earthbound below.

Dear Crystol, I always love creative people who pull off very creative art. Well, you are one of those people with the double acrostic. Yes, beyond the amazing visual descriptions, I just loved how you explore deeper themes of imagination, self-reflection, and the connection between the observer and the observed. You added so many interesting layers of meaning to the cloud-watching experience. I need to go lay on the grass and observe those cumulus wonders. - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

You're too kind but I love it thank you! These kinds of strictures putting boundaries on creativity, sometimes pull something deeper from us than we would otherwise go. The struggle to conform to rules brings about growth as much as allowing ourselves to write freely. Xoxo
