A depressed Guy
Was staring at sky,
Abruptly a form popped up
Assembled from
The lonely wandering clouds,
Appeared to him
Weeping inconsolably;
Suddenly, the warm joy welled up from within,
And the same clouds colluded to carve out,
A laughing form.
(Pareidolia is the phenomenon of finding familiar images in random scenes, like faces in clouds or religious icons in root vegetables)

Warm, well, within; clouds, colluded, carve - good use of alliteration. 'Joy' has to come from within! Our inner happiness is transferred to the things around us which r otherwise of little significance. Thats a literary analysis. Science is beyond my comprehension.
Clouds and the mind do play tricks. I've looked at clouds an perceived images

'Paradolia! '........wow I learnt a new word a very meaningful word.........and the poem is too good, with terrific images.
like all others i wld like to thank u for introducing me to the word -since a child i hv loved to gaze at clouds and walls and evertime they spoke back to me in myriad forms.at times i thought maybe i hd a streak of synicism in me -but today all my doubts are dispelled -thanks to you!
Thank you, i learned my word for the day :) I am not much of a cloud viewer i am a star gazer but i liked Sonyas comment and i love your writing as always. Thank you for sharing.
