Dagger!


SKYWATCH
http://skyley.blogspot.com/2009/06/skywatch-friday-no-47.html

I think this 'cloud' owes a lot to an aeroplane that must have recently passed-by. But I was attracted by its juxtaposition to the  jagged-looking tree.
DAGGER!

Any old cloud can be fluffy!
Any old cloud can be plump.
But I want to be a dagger
And aim for that old tree stump!
Any old cloud can billow
And just sort of hang around!
But I want to be a dagger
And aim myself at the ground.


A more personal look: a night-sky this time:

    I tried to write you a comment in rhyme
    but found myself running out of time
    your cloud is but a puff of smoke
    from the cmpfire of a thirsty bloke
    whose billy was tardy, he wasn't to proud
    to blow on theembers and blew up a cloud.

    Interesting. I think it looks like a lightning bolt

    Weird-looking, indeed - I thought at first it was some peculiar lightning-effect. But at least you give us an explanation why this cloud isn't like the others :)

    Yes, the apple tree...I do feel guilty whenever I look at it, on top of being sad.
