Clouds

by Sylvia   Aug 26, 2009


Capricious clouds obscuring the moon,
creating a brief respite of total darkness.
Slowly creeping away,
letting moonlight play hide and seek
with limbs, naked, bare of foliage.

Casting shadows on the ground,
phantoms dancing, frolicking,
as if to say, catch me if you can.

Daylight arriving, the moon sleeping,
apparitions disappearing, no more games.
Clouds come and go, passing by the sun.
It's just not the same, gone is the fun.

    At first i thought this was a spooky poem not until i read about the clouds being bored from the sun. I would prefer the sun to play hide and seek with the clouds rather than the moon..Scary!..Great reciation about the clouds though..

    Ooo this was really pretty. I must agree with everyone else very great imagery. Loved the description of the naked tree limbs as well as how great you described the clouds, the main focus of the poem. The moon sleeping.. too many good lines in this poem, can't pick my favorite, cause they were all equally amazing! Great imagery, great poem, well done!
