A view that did amaze us,
The scientists might classify
As cirrus, stratus, nimbus.
Away beyond the cabins that
Sat lonely on the hills
Were clouds of such variety,
Their awesomeness brought chills.
There were so many kinds of shapes
Of different design,
That students of geometry
Would not dare to define.
Light fluffy villages of clouds
In white were pushed away--
Invasions, usurpations made
By soldier clouds of gray.
Chef Sun placed creamy frosting on
A rich vanilla cake,
Heaped high with many layers on
A gleaming china plate.
With bags of rain the burdened clouds
Were rolling, racing, gliding.
Suspended by their unseen threads,
They merged without colliding.
A blue sky battled constantly
For places to peek through.
Between the bearded faces,
He made a brave debut.
These scenes of beauty wowed us
And stirred imagination,
This sky show’s presentation by
The God of all creation.

Great job. It's perfect in every way. You're cloud references reminded of my last meteorology class. Excellent. God bless.

Your last stanza speaks so well to me. Clouds are a key to unlock the imagination - free to soar and believe. God's presence keenly observed by simply looking up.
Loved it!

Just such a lovely tribute, Verna. I was going to quote one stanza but I love them all. Great stuff!
The Artist is an artist through you, dear and we are blessed.
Thank you.
Soldier clouds of gray...love that thought.
