My Science Report, by Shay Caroline

Clouds do not have bones,
And so live in the sky.

If they fall,
They will not break anything,
And when they fall we call it
Rain.

After
The
Rain,
They cannot find their bodies again,
And so they
Disappear.

Blue skies do not have clouds.
Clouds do not have bones.
That is all I have to say.

the whole falling part is what grabbed me...thinking of people falling and breaking and being left with broken bodies...maybe wishing they were rain...or maybe its just the buffalo chicken dip i just ate making me sentimental...

I love it. "Clouds do not have bones and so live in the sky." I love all sky-beings, and such-like..........love that they cant find their bodies again so disappear.........a rather ghostly concept, thus perfect for the season!

TALON said...

Now I'm weeping for the disappeared clouds, Shay.

I like your Science Report. I give it a A++ :)

Scarlet Ily said...

Excellent! Although I love clouds I wouldn't want to live in the sky (for fear of disappearing after the rain).

Susannah said...

I love it. :-)

Boonie S said...

You’re very nimbus with words. Most enjoyable. Thanks.

Have a nice day, Boonie

If only they had explained it like that in school.

Oh, dear Tiger-Friend...this is such a lovely poem and it is such a comfort after your last poem. It is good to know that being up in the air is not dangerous. Clouds can change forms. I love your science.
