The Shape of a Cloud

I took a ride on the clouds
Up in the boundless sky
Boundless heights
Sometime in July

I took a ride on the clouds
Payed my fare in laughter
In mystical pyjamas
I rode the wild rafter

Young clouds, old clouds
New clouds, shoe clouds,

I took a ride on the clouds
Stopped over on a horse
Made a quick transfer
Changed my course

I Hoped on a starfish
Swam through the air
Took off my socks
And rescued a zesty pear

Seedless, Colorless,
Priceless Spiciness

I took a ride on the clouds
Sailed the wooden boat
Waved to a pocket watch
Saved a rainy goat

I took a ride on the clouds
Spun a web with a spider
Raced an elephant
With a hand glider

Red, Yellow and Green
Sang the cloudy Submarine

I took a ride on the clouds
Landed on the moon
Painted on a moustache
With a blue teaspoon

I took a ride on the clouds
Slid down the pig’s tail
Fell down the chimney
Onto a furry whale

Running, Jumping
Singing, Swinging

I took a ride on the clouds
Sometime in July,
Stole a piece of the moon
For a blueberry pie.

  1. This is one of your best poems yet. Very playful, good use of imagery, a unique topic and perspective, effective use of rhyme and rhythm. Keep it up!
