I saved a six for this beautiful poem, dear Yvette. I had not the time to enter this contest with my novel publishimg but you ran away with the prize here. This is just as good as laying outside watching the clouds go by. A real treat.
Sending you my best today as always,
Sally xo

This is a great entry for the nephophile contest. You have described the clouds so vividly that I want to see them. The flow and rhyming pattern of your poem is very lovely. Great job and thank you for sharing.

This is a great addition to the nephophile registry Yvette, a little different from the poetic flight of fancy. A more scientific approach to the subject, but nevertheless, an excellent one. Smooth and articulate, well rhymed in abcb rhyme, and a good contribution to the genre, well done, blessings, Roy

Good luck in the contest Yvette. This was truly amazing and very well done. The picture itself represented the beauty of the clouds. But I do so like the concept of the poem that the angel artists were responsible for the shapes within the clouds. I do agree that one should cloud watch when they safely have the time to do so.

    Yikes, if a teacher workshop is anything like a nursing workshop, I will definitely think about you and even offer a few prayers. Clouds are indeed wonderful and you presented this so well. You are so very welcome Yvette.

The picture of the clouds behind the house or barn is absolutely stunning, setting the pace for your poem. You have described each type of cloud perfectly, with beautiful descriptions for each one. Your words flow wonderfully. The rhyme scheme is perfect. Absolutely gorgeous poem.
A definite six! Good luck in the contest.

Your poem is skillfully and creatively composed--alive with vivid imagery.
Personification is effectively used to convey "character sketches" of the types of clouds.

Amazing and well written and so peaceful. This takes me back to my grandmother's cottage and laying in the field dreaming while looking at those clouds, without a care in the world. I wish I had a six to give you. Did you hear around those swarms of drones in the colorado sky they sound ominous? Your friend Laura xo
