The clouds speak in fustian tones today,
attitude amid the altitude,
interrupting blues held together like a pair
of dancing dragonflies dropping just
over the horizon. They seem aware of their effect
though indifferent to the birds nuzzling through
slits of sky to a home among blues, piled
high enough to aspire to heavenly planes.

I love all the detail (as well as that glorious photo). Though written to other prompts, it fits beautifully my ‘Pay Attention’ Weekly Scribblings prompt at Poets and Storytellers United. Thanks for participating.
