Cloud Variations

Greg Schroeder

Brilliant yellow sunlight
Pours down from a pale blue sky
Directly overhead.
Stark white puffs
Dot an azure eastern vista.
Towering black storm
Rises to the west
While rows of alternating
Off-white and mid-blue
March on either flank
With an occasional fluff
Rising above the ranks.
