The sky is a canvas,
cloud scenes float by;
– and faster fly
when high winds blow.
Wispy or feathery 
often brilliant white
sometimes tinged by sunset hues
– exquisite sight,
or billows towering,
dark grey glowering..

Sunshine's shade, 
some soon showers shed
– rain or snow
for streams and taps to flow
way down below.

[IP: rain]

Great IP response Rhiannon, and I love the photos too. I hope Jenny pops back in soon and sees this one - it's right up her street!

Thank you. It was capturing those lovely pink clouds that started me thinking about the subject and a loose connection to the IP.

Yes, I hope Jenny can occasionally read without feeling she much comment! Rhiannon

"exquisite" is a great word for sunset clouds. I hope you have rain for your streams and taps to flow very soon. Thank you for this lovely poem

Thank you, Di. The rain has just been falling! Hearing thunder first awhile, and the flashes, and then it suddenly fell. Lovely sound. There had been a few small brief showers before, but not like this. Very thankful, maybe green lawns and hiilsides again soon! Rhiannon
