Some droplets of ash
in a white cottony fluffs
Total eye candy!
Sweet like sugar and honey
Sporadically cloudy.

shadows on water
cottony clouds overhead
peaceful vacation
low hum of conversation
loving couples on the beach

Constantly changing looks,
Cottony clumps spur a
Child’s creativity.
Could that be a giant
Caterpillar that now
Crawls across the sky? A
Camel it’s turned into!...

Cottony, Cumulus 
Clouds dappled on blue can
coalesce into banks;
creating a dull, drab,
cheerless, depressing day,
consistent with rain and
children's disappointment....

perfect mate nearby
wind scatters cottony tufts- 
a summer snowfall

Cottony clouds,
dazzlingly white,

     in the azure sky,
     in motionless flight.

Noontime breeze
caresses the sandy shore,

     soothing the Beloved's
     soul to the core....

Cottony vapour fluffs, 
Caravan shape-shifting, 
Can be stratus, nimbus, 
cumulus or cirrus, 
Cover the blue with white, 
Cranky storms turn them black;
Chariot of the Lord.

Floating between the cottony clouds 
Perception of the beloved
Lingers in the dreamer mind
Reckoning about sight
Deliriously 
Raising the hands
To caress
Simple
Dream

dashing, unbridling, entertaining
formal tuxedo, athlete, wedding gown, chalk
snowing, swaddling, sparkling
cottony, sudsy

Clouds, fluffy, white  cotton gaseous
Floating in the sea air
cottony blue sea Full of snowy peaks.
Soft whiteness in heavenly sky
white to white in bluish azure...!
Plumes, pompoms to enchant!
  To romanticizing Life...!...

A flock of seagulls fly in the cottony sky.
Hearing its cawing in the distance.
In a sunny and warmer afternoon.

They fly near the beaches looking for food.
At sunset, resume their flight again.
Starting over the next day....

tree leaves
rustle in breeze-
cardinal

wings
fluttering above-
cottony clouds

owl
landing in an oak-
mouse scurries

leaves
floating on the wind-
deer running

water
trickles in the distance-
salmon leaps

Not a tinge of beauty lost,
on glass pane, fading frost;

       veiled view to verdant vales,
       moist, moss-green mountains,
       clouds cottony, hover, cover
       fronds, ferns, forest fountains;

On glass pane, fading frost,
not a tinge of beauty lost....

the winds speaking forth
inside space
 clouds moving
pillows white mist
dewing drops rainbow
while the blue spaces
gathering picking the cottony hues
picture perfected canvas
capsulate

Breathtakingly vast,

     the green plains bask with delight

          in the amber afternoon sunlight;

                    across the skyline float

                         cottony whiffs of clouds low-lying,

                              left behind, it seems, by birds slow-flying....

A lazy Sunday afternoon 
Just watching the clouds go by,
If I was a cloud I'd pass over your house
And write your name up there in the sky
In cottony letters, soft, fluffy, and white, 
Then a lining of red in the blue
Would outline your name 'til a heart shape did form
From the red of my heartbeat for you...

Fly wounded warrior
Toward the golden sun
Through the cottony clouds
Until your day is done

Fly wounded warrior
Toward a bright half moon
Weave through a million stars
All dancing to the night skies tune

Fly wounded warrior
Spread your wings and fly free
Fly where the wind takes you
Fly until eternity!...

Majestic sun rising every day.
Shining through the cottony clouds.
Giving light to plants and flowers.
Golden disc shaped in the sky, reflects in the
ocean waves.
Blessing human beings with its invigorating effects.
Enjoy its twelve hours of sunshine.

UNDERPACKING

packed only one
of
a kind

not expecting leaking
nor
quickening of rain

no moist path
of
cottony softness

his wife packed
three
six packs

with stripes and flowers
polka dots
bikinis, briefs, and grandma-size

I exaggerate, he
brought two
one to hang

near the bathroom sink
