Clouds of Poetry

 

The sky-blue sky

reads like a sentence from summer,

punctuated with commas of cumulus.

The sky-blue lake

collects the scroll of clouds

on its mirrored surface.

I'm floating in my kayak

on the sky-blue sky,

paddling between clouds of poetry.

Then the wind exhales

and brushes the clouds

into ripples of scribbles.
