cloud haiku - joshua st claire



Swatara Creek

the different speeds

of clouds


distant bird

overtaken by the clouds

rushing toward me


how different we are cumulus clouds


cirrostratus night

Arcturus shimmers

beyond the veil


blue dawn moon

the cloud peaks

gull-colored


darksound

earthshine greys

a stratocumulus night


palm blossom

the golden hour mellows

the altocumulus sky


catbriar

lightning between clouds

over the water


calvus cloud

the swift’s motionless wings

propel her skyward


thistlewind

cumulus humilis shatters

and falls to earth.
