Hurricane Sky
Cloud bellies, looking muscular, Big knots of corded strength, Like rippled abs up in the sky, I studied them at length.
A hurricane sky came strolling, Along my stretch of beach, A muscled bit of cumulus, Just slightly out of reach.
I stared into the cauldron, The writhing mass at play. It roiled and folded constantly. Things could go wrong this day.
The surf was pounding out the steps, As clouds walked over land. Somehow I knew that they were not, Here to just pound sand.
The portents of a message, Were all quite abundantly clear, When Mother Nature speaks her piece, Its wise to lend an ear.

Thank you.
With the current hurricane, I thought it appropriate to recycle one of NnB's poems. Hope he doesn't mind. :)

When he sees what you did with it, I think he will be overwhelmed with pride! It is so neat to have the water droplets on the border!

*grin* .... thanks. I love the tables that you post everyday. You are doing a wonderful job. They are fun, aren't they?
When I saved those rain drops, I didn't think I would ever use them. They seemed to fit today.
I forgot to thank Billie for the recyled Welcome Graphic. Billie, thank you ..... hope you don't mind me using it here. :)

Thank you. I love doing them. Sometimes it is a challenge to get inspired for one, though. I need to concentrate more! LOL!

They take a little time to do; deciding which border to use sometimes is difficult.
At least I'm getting a little faster.

They get a little easier with doing them. I still agonize over colors, etc. But it is so gratifying when they're done and posted!

I remember that day, and my looking up at those clouds.
The underside, or belly, of the clouds. They did look muscular and intimidating, haughty, distant, and threatening.
Clouds? Those gentle, puffy creatures?
Oh yeah. They can get right vicious, when their tail gets caught in that wringer!

That poem is almost a year old but I couldn't resist posting it today.
I have others that I will bring out to showcase your talent when something pings my memory. Thank you.

Hi! I always thought clouds were soft till I went up on my first plane trip and we went through them. They were hard and bumpy! Who knew!
Your poem was very descriptive, made me see what I was reading--I love it!

I've heard that there's more than one way to look at clouds...
Clouds
Soundless giants of the air,
Drifting slowly everywhere,
Softly flowing, gentle flight,
Unseen shadows in the night.
Summer skies of azure blue,
Often hold a cloud or two.
Snowbank castles looking down,
At the lowlifes on the ground.
In Winter skies they do convene,
To cover up our muddy scene.
Some ugliness just has to go,
So then they cover it with snow.
Grazing sheep of soundless tread,
Passing slowly overhead,
Our miasmas upward creep,
To make these gentle creatures weep.

Thank you for another great one! I envy your wonderful talent! Do you have one for the "pictures" we see in clouds? :o)

"Do you have one for the "pictures" we see in clouds?" Not yet. But don't get antsy. I'll sleep on this one!
