Cloudy Skies

Cloudy skies have beauty, too
Their allure is more mystique than true
As cascading rain surrenders to dew
With their secrets of pearl, and illusions of blue.

"I've looked at clouds from both sides now / From up and down, and still somehow / It's cloud illusions I recall / I really don't know clouds at all". Sorry, I couldn't resist the quote from one of my favorite songs. I think being an "ugly duckling" in high school sensitized me to the diamond in the rough kind of songs of the era. At Seventeen by Janis Ian another good example. With that background, you might see why I love words like "Cloudy skies have beauty too" and "with secrets of pearl"

'Both sides now' is one of my favorites, too - this poem was from waaay back in my college days, glad it seems to have held up well - and my ugly duckling phase lasted into my twenties-
