100 Views Poetry WorkshopIn a CloudFor three days we have lived inside a cloud,Watching a fog squeeze itself into droplets.Sometimes it lowered and lifted around us,White heights and dull grey,And once wispy white-blueMyrtle bushes were wet feather dustersThat soaked us at the touch.The stream spilled water from a flute-edged rim,Once its bank, down half a hillStar-flowers in the never-rained overhangsPulled water from the yielding air.The heath’s bell-sprays hung heavilyTill an extra drop made an avalancheThat landing, cleared the branch below.From Poetry of the Mountains by Mark O’ConnorFrom the Art of the SnowflakeBy Kenneth Libbrecht16 P a g e
