Hi Beth.
This is a well illustrated poem. I like the dueling metaphors for the clouds and how they form.
Congrats on placing second in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.
Joan

The first two lines of this poem flow and connect well. The last line
says it all! I find watching the clouds is an amazing experience! Thank
you for the definition of metamorphosis! The artwork is perfect and
compliments the words of this poem.
Hi Beth, have a Wonderful Thanksgiving! Maria

Amazing what those wind currents can accomplish! ;) A wonderful offering for the contest here, Lady Beth! ;) One formatting suggestion: instead of the period at the end (way too abrupt for the 'haiku' you've written!), you should replace it with a tilde (that little squiggle) as a smooth, thoughtful transition to your satori line... :-) :-) Love the visual even with the well-matched pic here! ;) Thanx for sharing and best of luck! ;) Yvette

    Thank you, Yvette. I appreciate the suggestion. I didn't even realize I'd put a period in there. I've heard haikus are supposed to be punctuated.

I loved the imagery here of the morning fog rising, it is amazing how it can suddenly come upon you, but dangerous as well, even if you are just out walking. A well written piece, Beth, I enjoyed reading it.

    Thank you, Jacob. I love the clouds and I was happy the fog had lifted. It was really thick earlier.

I think I was confronted by a heavy mist in the morning is Switzerland some years ago, and it amazed me to see the mist lift very quickly when the sun came out, beautifully written Beth, blessings Roy

A very good entry for the 5-7-5 contest. God sure makes some pretty designs in the sky. Sorry I missed those clouds, but I'm glad I missed the dentist. Best wishes!

    Thank you, Jim. I appreciate the review. It is never fun to go to a dentist.

You are so good at these, Beth, and this is no exception. It's really good. I love to find things in clouds, and this really does look like powder puffs in the sky. And what better place to watch the changes of clouds, than from the destist chair!? It keeps your mind off other not so nice things happening at the same time. :)) Well done and good luck in the contest. :) Sandra xxx

    Thank you, Sandra, I appreciate you saying that. I rather write a longer poem that something short.

Even your font looks like puff balls here - well done. I like how your first and last lines rhyme in this 5-7-5, and I appreciate how you took something as simple as a trip to the dentist and turned it into art.

    Thank you, Pam. I don't think the lines are supposed to rhyme and didn't mean to rhyme but I can't seem to avoid it. I like rhymes. Thanks for the review and comments.

I hope those beautiful clouds were a good distraction from the dental work! This is a lovely poem and it is beautifully presented although the heavy font is hard tor read. Best wishes for the contest.
