Once I saw a cloud;
Cliffs around the edges,
With water coming down.
Only an angel could go there
Without being there to drown.
It gave me a surprising feeling -
Was it an angels house?
And though it seemed big to me,
Was it only the size of a mouse?

I made a scrapbook page with the poem, “I Once Saw A Cloud”. I did give credit to the author.

Thanks for letting me know Olivia, that’s great.
One thing, when you publish one of my poems online I require that you include a link back to the post with the original poem, on this blog. Could you please add a link to:
