Clouds

by  •  • 3 Comments

Clouds

flocculent clouds
puffed in the sky
giant marshmallows
tempting the eye

an east wind moving them
beyond the line of vision
dividing the horizon
with a precise incision

sun covered momentarily
perhaps making a prediction
only to reappear
with courage of its conviction

as twilight arrives
at its inevitable time
Nature’s shift begins
its internal rhyme

Linda Lee Lyberg is hosting Open Link Night at D’Verse.  I reworked a poem I wrote about 5 years ago.  I wrote it in rhyme as that is how nature sometimes talks to me ☺️

Maidenhair

Maidenhair

Your name is pretty
and describes you well
Maidenhair
You are a fern
Delicate and soft
fluttering in the breeze
In some places you are finicky
and live inside
where it is warm
You are planted in peat-moss soil
and misted with water
But here in the deep south
you are a delightful weed
Strong, low-maintenance
popping up in between concrete cracks
around trees
and pushing up pebbles
You are at home in shady sunshine
Natural and free flowing
and for sale
Nowhere
