Listen to poem:

Rolling Clouds

Beyond the horizon
they rolled in rippling
the clouds majestic
flamboyant and spectacular

A gentle rumbling motion
putting on a show
tumbling with grandeur
in splendor blues and hues

Sweeping across the skies
undulating swirls and spirals
flowing shifts and layers
waves of billowy locomotion

Hello Line … nicely presented Line. Clouds are just more than the simple word itself. They can be intriguing, angry, shaped, and give us those beautiful sunrises and sunsets - Merry Christmas Line - Lindsay
