Clouds Poem by Eddie Roa

Clouds

Rating: 4.0


It was a wonder why clouds were so gray
Despite the brightness of the afternoon, and
No one knew that you left on the three o'clock train

A surprise why the clouds burst into tears
When all around a dry and arid air prevailed, but
I did not tell anyone of our parting

I am perplexed by clouds huddling in narrow corners
When the azure expanse was so wide and endless, yet
They could not have known of my despair

Mindless and mushy floating jumbo cotton wads
Seemed to commiserate and provide comfort, merely
Wished for by the conceit of abandoned men

This reminds me of people who says, when it rains on a sunny day there is feast in heaven. I don't know what it means. Based on my own interpretation this means it's my lucky day. You know what? You have all the ingredients of what poetry should be. Thanks
