Notes About The Poem

Cotton Candy Clouds

moving clouds, puffy
gold rose dawn fills waking skies
summer's honeyed days

as heat gains its peak
gilt clouds, noon butterscotch sky
lemon meringue pie

chocolate sunset
cocoa with soft marshmallows
so frothy and light

morning, noon and night
fluffy clouds slowly drift by
colorful summer

The clouds can form some of the most amazing shapes, too. :)

So much more vibrant than 'white puffy clouds.' Love the whole display, Evelyn!

WoW! Evelyn, You penned a string of lovely haikus. That's one colorful summer indeed. Reading it caused me to want some lemon meringue pie. Good job. Have a great day, my friend:-)Alexis
