Circus-Nimbus

Clouds rumble past in parading billows.

Tumbling, twisting, like acrobats

beneath a sweeping blue canvas canopy.

Light dances against darkness,

drums beating thunderous cadence.

Raindrops clap in deafening ovation

before silence reigns in hungry anticipation.

The clouds roll away to reveal the grand finale:

streamers arc in a colorful pose,

bringing the performance to a close.
