Poem Artwork

Thank you for the pics Sherry Heim
they inspired this poem, I joined two;-)


~*~



Can this scene be right
I had to gasp out loud
never before saw such a sight
Are they really just clouds


They are called Mammatous, formed
when air is saturated with rain droplets
and/or ice crystals and begins to sink
The worst of the storm is usually over
when these kinds of clouds are seen


Quite rare, but  beautiful
They make me want to play
They almost seem surreal
Creation always makes my day


I no longer wonder at my being a paradox
When I see all the wonders in the skies
Creator doesn't keep us  in a box
His delights can be seen through our eyes


The name of the clouds similar to mammary
Makes me smile it is so  apropos
The universe is made up of such imagery
Is it any wonder I love Creator so

"Creation always makes my day" - and it shows every time you post one of your wonderful poems dear. It is as obvious as the day is long that you worship your Creator with a true heart. You capture every gift given by Creator with an unequal enthusiasm. :)

Eileen,

I have seen clouds that look like that, and they are quite frightening to see! Excellent write and scary pic; very well done! BRAVA!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :)

Eileen,

WOW!!!!! I've seen clouds like that, they are indicators of extreme instability. If they start to rotate, Katie, bar the door, tornadoes may form. An excellent write and terrifying pics...thanks.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Such a wonder God's creation is! I agree!

We very rarely see Mammatus formations in Southern California. We are given more readily to Cumulus, altocumulus, and cirrocummulus. Occasionally, after storms in the eastern mountains, we see lenticular cloud caps, which are always a wonder to behold.

I couldn't help but ponder, while reading this, how we all create distinct atmospheres around ourselves, if you will, by what we do and what we say, and how we interact with one another.

It's amazing sometimes how those atmospheres can affect those we touch.

Thanks for the thought process Eileen!

Wild is my take. Looks like something out of science fiction, in fact I thought they were "touched up." Fasinating.

Where's Jerry when someone mentions mammery...he'll say something so stay tuned for this! The poem is beautiful and certainly inspired by these cloud formations. I've never seen them before and they are beautiful. Where do you live? We don't have these here.

I was rather stunned when I saw these clouds, also; I had never seen such a thing in my life. Funny you should mention how the word so closely resembles mammary..but I will just say that they as well as this poem are "udderly" beautiful.
Take care,
Sherry
