Cosmic Sketches

consider cumulus frost-bitten clouds
curious billows sporting fluffy shrouds
zeniths growing, burgeoning powers
forming glorious looming towers 

hyperboles design brief distortions 
comic sketches of monstrous proportions
colliding cotton, silvery might
enormous collections, wondrous white

cryptic constructions, icy smoke
cumulus clouds lure sky-eyeing folk
hewn works mimic stunning sculpture
structures wrought from counterculture

I always feel mesmerized by the clouds Howard. Especially here in Hawaii where the air is clear and the clouds look so close you can reach out and touch them. Your poem is a very beautiful tribute to the clouds where ever they may be. xxoo
