Natures Palette.

Photo by Milli 08 cp.

 

Natures Palette

As I watch the clouds float gently by

 I am aware that I am viewing Natures palette in the sky

It is a canvas changing day by day

From Brilliant blue to darkened grey

Fluffy white cumulus clouds form over blue

As I watch new shapes come into view

Storm clouds form called cumulonimbus

Extremely beautiful to watch and rains from these are fortuitous.

Clouds reflecting colours of red and orange brilliance up above

As we watch the magnificence of the setting sun.

Morning sunrise sometimes offers the more pastel hues

As the dark of night retreats and day ensues.

How fascinating is the dark night sky

Where nature embellishes her canvas with stars up high. 

As a changing lunar glows with luminous intensity every night

And a heavenly painting is always above and within our sight.

I thank the shining stars above for the masterpieces that all can see

An ever changing, wondrous rich palette of Natures Pure Intensity.

  1. Wow Milli, that's a wonderful description of nature as an artist or nature seen through the artist's eyes.
    You know I love your top photo, and the bottom one is amazingly well suited to your poem.
    Great work, bows 3 times.

  2. You managed to capture the essence of a painter in your poem.
    The words are befitting to be read when resting gaily on that bench.

  3. Thank you Dear Mia and if you would like to be a part of this group too I am sure that your creative abilities will be very much appreciated. I am a very visual lady and love to write what I am observing and i guess my art form then becomes my writing and photography. You are a true artist.
    Bows to you in thanks.

  23. Ahhhhhh, nothing lovelier than the sky in all its costumes. Loved your poem, too. Milli, I watched Globe Trekker last night about a great trip to Southern Australia. The traveler picked & stomped grapes & took a tempting sip of the delicious juice. I thought about you. Have Fun!

  30. A gorgeous photo, Milli. And a beautiful piece to compliment it. How did you come to know the terminology regarding clouds and such? I find when I want to write something I know nothing of, I spend hours online researching. I wrote a piece titled 'The Great Divide' and I'll post it some day. I actually had to study out a literal Great Divide in order that I might write my analogy. A lovely writer, here.
