The clouds in the sky.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)

Free verse
The clouds in the sky.

A cloud can be whatever you see in it as it floats by in the sky. They tower so high as you look with your staring eyes, but you have never found a cloud sufficient to express the sky; it's the sky that swallows up the clouds, not the clouds that swallow up the sky. 

About this poem

When you look up at the clouds you can see a bunch of different things.
