CLOUD HERDING
Sky stock getting a bit out of order,
Roaming at will,
Willy-nilly sorter,
Can’t have that still.
Scattered around,
Hither and tither,
Very unsound,
And they go whither.
Hiding here and there,
Impishly,
And I glare,
But not wimpishly.
They do tend to clump,
Now and then,
But hide behind the building dump,
And streak off again.
To add to the confusion,
They pile one on another,
That ain’t amusin’
This mother.
Finally, other than a few strays,
Main bunch headed home,
And I have to go a ways,
And find my comb.

You paired up the pictures with this poem very snugly Doug. Hope you had a great holiday…
You have the most beautiful blue sky out there, Doug. I grew up in Ohio, 5 blocks from a steel mill, where the smokestacks were always spewing out red pollution. I didn’t see a blue sky until I moved to Carolina when I was 32. Your sky is even more brilliant, and it is an appropriate background for your blog.
I am so glad September is here, as that terrible heat is behind us now, and my favorite month, October, is coming up.
And I like that word willy-nilly and I’m going to steal it from you, if you don’t mind.
Take care, Doug.

It looks “beautiful” there! We had a really awesome lightning/thunder storm last night that lasted for approximately 3 hours. I was half asleep, watched some of it from my front porch, but was too tired to get out the camera, the tripod, and set the shutter speed up, etc. Thanks for sharing these!
Our clouds have conspired to be one big grey sky and immune to herding. I love the way the photographs illustrated this.very cool.
Beautiful pictures of the clouds. Thanks.
