Notes About The Poem

poem written based upon this image--an online poetry class assignment

Cloudscape

A whale moves through the clouds—no splash, no wake only its large blue body passing through white meadows of air. A rabbit sits between its shoulder, still as dandelion seed. Neither is surprised by the other’s presence.  The whale carries its silent wisdom; the rabbit, its innocence. They travel together beyond roads and maps, where wonder is the order of things. 
through drifting cloudbanks a rabbit rides the whale's back sky without ending
