This book was an eye-opening gift to me from a friend (Thank you, Ann!) Through it, and the membership I now hold in the Cloud Appreciation Society, along with their daily email of an image and an explanation of the science behind clouds, I have become ever more alert to the forms and beauties of the skies. I even like cloudy days a little bit better–though not completely socked-in grey skies like Northfield is experiencing in this moment. Not enlightened enough for that, clearly!

Background for My Poem “Views/Points”:

This poem is a mystery to me. The orange and white just appeared. Possibly a longing for summer was the root of this imagist construction.

Happy reading! Happy writing! LESLIE
