Up in the blue sky,
the Cirrus clouds float,  
like wisps of silk and a downy cloak
Their soft waves beckon a warming sign,  
welcoming change as the sun begins to shine.  

Cumulus clouds slowly drift
like fluffy cotton spun,  
Puffy and bright as they bask in the sun
Yet, watch them swell with thunders roar,
as a heavy Cumulonimbus bursting into downpour.

Stratus clouds spread wide,
like a soft grey sheet,
Draping the landscape where the earth and sky meet.  
Bringing light drizzle, a misty blight
and a low foggy veil in the quiet of night.
