Slightly Cloudy, Still Seen A Lot.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Slightly cloudy, still seen a lot...

Just after reading Asim Sir's commentary in my poem,

I went to the backyard
sat on the Roover Garden, (a comfortable UK terrace chair)

looked around me

really over there I see illuminated yellow spots in the dark veil clouds

a slice slid slowly through the cloud cover,

Looks like it's playing crazy with me again

but that is not true

I sit and watch
how she glides gently through the clouds,
the area is lit completely yellow
on the wisps of clouds around her,
it doesn't bother her,
she progresses to the next point,

every now and then you see her beautiful pale yellow,
almost ocher look looming,
how quickly we are satisfied
with all that wonderful light around her,
cut by the wisps of clouds that also drift,

but the Corn Moon is in clouds, so beautiful!
Yes, Asim Sir is right,
I don't watch from my balcony, he does
just from my lounge chair in the backyard,
the full corn moon shines,
how beautiful she is,
comes out in full
tomorrow...
