Clouds part like
        tatters cloth ------------ Thunder grumbles back
                        \                           /              \
                       The River of Mist - A Magpie scolds the sky
                            looks down               above it
                            /                 \
   Sudden beauty                     Though I try
      is glimpsed                            to capture it all
                /                                     with threads of rhyme
The Silence                                                  \
   is forever --------- I live in --------- I sing it yet I
        \               A room of shadows        forget the words
          \                                                         I have not written
            \                                                       /
         **The Jade river flows benieth it all
I thought I'd try my hand at something different and I remembered seeing some example of visual poetry back in school when I took a poetry course but I had never done one - so here is my attempt.
