  1. Clouds of dreary suits
    A cold drizzle of small talk.
    The weather at work.

    Swirling finger cloud
    Flicking objects off the map.
    The mad chase the hand.

    Icarus exclaimed,
    “It’s all flat! Let’s spread the news…!”
    Cloud conspiracies.

  2. birch leaves touch
    azure skies
    dragon clouds smile

    ideas emerge
    under clouds and stars
    an orchid blooms

    the full moon
    waves
    kissing a sun cloud

  3. midges
    wherever we camp . . .
    clouds of

    teased clouds
    the way she fluffs up
    her doonas

    in the ploughshare’s wake
    the rise and fall
    of a cloud of gulls

  4. drifts of dreams
    soiled by
    an ominous gray

    //

    the clouds
    with dark spots –
    fallen angels

    //

    clouds
    on a sunny day –
    recalling life’s frailties
