Cloudy With a Chance of Stories

the tortoise-shaped cloud
as tall as a skyscraper 
and a half as wide
floats slowly across blue sky
with no hare-shaped cloud to race

patchy cloudy sky
with shapely stories to tell
hare-brained ideas 
and the tortoise will always
slowly and steadily win

Thank you. That tortoise-shaped cloud was HUGE. I could not allow it to pass by without a poem to remember it.
