Clouds
The sky is blue
The clouds are white
They’re way up high
So very bright
They seem to be
So far away
Yet them we see
As clear as day
Wispy, spotted
Pulled out straight
Speckled, dotted
Yet with no weight
Cotton wool fluff?
White dabbed on blue
Marshmallow puff?
On changing hue
Water vapour Held in the air Condensed matter That stays up there!
I see a shape Then watch it blow Might it escape Where does it go?
