Mystery of misty moisture:
shadows scurry, shower flurry,
filmy fluid falls to earth
fuelling food’s future growth.

*******

Herringbone and candy floss
– patterns picturesque across
azure dome of summer calm,
pleasant balm, no threat of harm.

*******

Heavy anvil ‘mountains’ tower,
dark, foreboding angry glower,
warn of storm, not gentle shower,
deluge stored outpoured with power.

This is very beautiful- never thought of clouds as herringbone- clever..

Thank you, Pia, though the term 'herringbone' isn't original to me I must admit! Rhiannon

Magic, I felt drawn along as the seasons are,then bang and changed to the power and anvil strength of winter.

Though sometimes, we get the range in one season! Glad you enjoyed, thank you for telling me. regards, Rhiannon

A great Poem, this. I liked the alliteration of the first stanza, the calm of the second stanza and the final stanza summed up perfectly the storm we experienced today. It was as if you were documenting it as it happened. Brilliant! Moya

Clouds have always fascinated me, and your poem has some wonderful descriptions of the many formations that we see...sometimes in one day. Much enjoyed. Tina;-)

Hello, Rhiannon. A very nice poem incorporating nature’s elements and I loved your final stanza: Heavy anvil ‘mountains’ tower, dark, foreboding angry glower, warn of storm, not gentle shower, deluge stored outpoured with power. Really enjoyed this, so thank you for sharing. Trev

Hi again Rhiannon

I love the alliteration and powerful rhymes in this poem. "deluge stored outpoured with power"

Such a lot of imagery in those five words.

Thank you, again, Jean. It is lovely to be able to draw pictures in a few lines sometimes, and rhyme and alliteration can sometimes slip in to crisp up the picture and the musicality of reading! I think the IP that week must have stimulated this thinking. Rhiannon

I don't know how I missed this poem Rhiannon. That first line;- The mystery of misty moisture, said it all for me. The sensations behind each stanza gives the reader a different perspective, which you have thought out well in your own distinctive way.

So many wonderful word sounds! I loved     

" shadows scurry, shower flurry,"

and

"stored outpoured with power."

and this bit "pleasant balm," is so soothing, even after being soaked and cold today, it has reminded me so strongly of warm blue sky :0)
