Poem Artwork

Giant anvils
of thunderstorms
skim the top of
the atmosphere,
surging northeast
on currents of
moisture from the
Gulf.  They look like
ocean liners
crossing the seas,
signalling one
another with
flickers of light.
They turn orange in
the setting sun
and then move on -
how I wish they'd
let me on board ...

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (2/3)

Reminds me of a lullaby from "Chitty-Chitty Bang Bang"-- "A gentle breeze from Hush-a-bye Mtn/ softly blows o'er Lullaby bay... And fills the sails of boats that are waiting--waiting to sail your troubles away..." Who knows what dreams they're laden with-- how many of your own dreams you've set stock in arriving on a certain far away ship-- are going over the horizon to be delivered to others instead. --Charlie

"signaling one another with flickers of light."
What a great analogy... I hadn't thought of clouds having blinkers before.
