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.

  1. 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...

  2. 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!

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

  7. 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.

  15. I love this one! Almost childlike,as befitting the title, an unusual voice for you, yet full of classic Fireblossom depths and imagery...the way you turn our conceptions of things inside out so easily never fails to amaze me. Thanks for dusting this one off and sharing it today, Shay.

  16. Poetic science! Made me wonder if an elementary school teacher would accept and encourage this creativity? And oh, I wish I had no bones and could fall without hurting myself or anyone else, and know when to cease existing. Ha!

  17. Leaving it up to you to come up with an original thought about clouds. I never would have a single worry. And with the Forrest Gump ending...perfect.

  19. I've never seen "Forrest Gump", so if he used that phrase, it's news to me!

  20. I just love this! I makes me want to return to youth when things were so simple and easy to explain.

  22. Wonderful science for girls, Shay. And the last line is sheer perfection.

  23. So when it rains, the drops don't fall on us so much as through us. I always wondered about that ... You learn something every day. We're expecting a lot of rain today, so I'll be sure to offer some respect to those boneless thunderboomers. - B
