Cloud character

Cumulus clouds from which I coalesced

Creative spark the rhyme suggests

Pulling the magical strands from the air

Fashioning it, into sinews and hair.

Cumulonimbus prestiging stormy cries

Creating fiction, no compromise

Awaiting the lightening bolt to strike

Harnessing its energy, waiting to write.

Comulus clouds from which I coalesced

Character drawn from ether, feeling distressed

Walking the clouds, light as thistledown

Focus unclear, staying up or falling clown.

Cumulonimbus prestiging stormy cries

Classic tale or dystopian lies

Boxing the thunder grabbing the sparks

Maybe to underline, the unorthodox.

Head in the clouds is where they seem to be

The author’s misty figure is not what you see.

I also wrote this in a more free verse style which do you prefer?

Cumulus clouds from which coalesced

The creative spark in rhyme, or yet

Pulling magical strands from the air

Fashioning it, into words not pairs.

Cumulonimbus prestiging stormy cries

Shout till hoarse, new Virgin lines

Await the lightening bolt to strike

Harness its energy, burn to write.

Comulus clouds from which I coalesced

Character drawn from ether – underscore

Walking the clouds, light as gossamer thread

Balance hard, focus unclear.

Cumulonimbus prestiging stormy sighs

Classic verse, free wheeling style – form

Box the thunder grab the sparks

Might underline, the unorthodox.

Poetry in the clouds is where it seems to be

The poets’s misty figure is not what you see.
