Watching the clouds

Grazing on a patch of blue
A herd of shape-shifters
Upwind of migration

Prehistoric nomads
Gathering
Intensify
Glance

Down the mountain side

Wonderful imagery! I've just come back from holiday, and this is how i looked at the clouds while on my back in a swimming pool! Making pictures from clouds is one of my favourite things, a bit like reading tea leaves i'm sure!

Great build up at the end. I enjoyed it for being an abstract poem. It was brief, but you created a good enough image to think about for awhile.

Very good, Mick! "Grazing on a patch of blue" to depict the clouds already gives the image of sheep, and you really crystalize it with the next line.

Really enjoyed this, it is a fun one to picture in the mind's eye while reading... brings about the same sort of make-the-shapes-what-you-want feeling that one gets when cloud gazing. It's both playful and beautiful, well done.

Especially liked "upwind of migration" - great way of getting that travelling/movement across

happy writings.
