Bulbous clouds marching into Dromana
Parade of white clouds
An army of gentle fists
Making decisions

THE MEANING OF SUMMER
Summer sizzles with a sibilant hush
Broken by dreams of
Clinking ice
~ Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

wow! These clouds really delicious.
I love watching clouds blown by the winds! I love the colouring in these!
Some times they march in packs - sometimes they are solitary - but always beautiful and waiting to be captured!
Gemma, As always a wonderful poetry - I always enjoy your creative take on things we often take for granted, like clouds.
And thank you for the comments on my blog -- I so appreciate your stopping by.
