The clouds in the sky.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



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.

    Feedback:
    This poem beautifully captures the ever-changing nature of clouds in the sky and the sense of wonder they evoke. The imagery of clouds towering high and the idea of the sky swallowing them up is compelling and thought-provoking. The message about perspective and the vastness of the sky is a powerful one.

    Improvement suggestions:
    Consider adding more descriptive language to further enhance the imagery of the clouds. Including specific details such as colors, shapes, and movements can help paint a more vivid picture for the reader. Additionally, expanding on the emotions or sensations that clouds evoke could deepen the impact of the poem. Overall, this is a strong piece with potential for even greater depth and resonance with a few adjustments.
