Eternity Through Sunglasses
“The clouds, – the only birds that never sleep.”
- Victor Hugo
she hallucinates a sky sea
filled with flocks of insomniac clouds
scouring the devils from eternity
with cotton tipped wings.

Tantrum
Ms. Rainbow enters the stage in her gown of charmeuse silk quoting Wordsworth and silences the sun’s soliloquy on his relationship with clouds. Her theatrics are more jealous tantrum than artful expression or love of poetry. For all her brilliant colors she only draws a moment’s adulation before her attraction begins to fade. ©Susie Clevenger 2019 #NaPoWriMo2019 Real Toads ~ The Tuesday Platform
