OctPoWriMo: When I was Young

Thus begins OctPoWriMo 2015. Today's prompt is all about cloud and anything that clouds can represent in our lives. Have you ever cloud gazed? How do clouds make you feel? Memories of clouds? There's a lot to work with. As is usual there are a couple of suggestions for prompts related to clouds.

If I do a short form for my prompt I feel I do a disservice to my readers, Dear Readers. So, I am giving you 2 for 1. First an acrostic poem that uses the letters in the word CLOUD, each letter starts a new sentence. And then for dessert, a haiku.

Poetry Prompt: Acrostic poem and a Haiku

From MorgueFile

When I was Young, (I Would Cloud Gaze)

Clearly the skies are

Lazy as they stretch 

Out and across and

Under the Sapphire Blues

Daring my imagination to

See the endless possibilities

~~~~~~~

Cloud Dreams

Little floating puffs

dancing along stray breezes--

Secret lives of clouds.
