Ode to a Cloud

Poetry

I’m often mesmerised by the stunning depth and beauty of clouds. I imagine entire kingdoms within their folds.

Pillowy, marshmallowy

candyfloss spun from ice,

shifting like a wandering thought

nudged by benign breezes,

formed from ancient lakes, rivers, sea

—places where I swam, splashed and

paddled.

Now I chuckle at the thought

that once I

dipped my toe

into a cloud ☁️

About the Creator

Teresa Renton

Inhaling life, exhaling stories, poetry, prose, flash or fusions. An imperfect perfectionist who writes and recycles words. I write because I love how it feels to make ink patterns & form words, like pictures, on a page.
