Poofy white cumulous clouds build in the sky
like plump snowmen with jaggedy bulges at their waist
Taller and higher they push to the jet zone, yet
sneaking toward them from their east are
vicious, dark gray clouds, holding moisture and pulling
the white puffballs
magnets, slowly absorbing them
The western sky is obliterated by
charcoal clouds, moisture drops enlarging within them and
blocking sunlight,
enhancing the threatening ebony umbrella
White cumulous gone, turned into blackened pancakes before the drench

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

Fluffy white joy surrendering to towering terror. Clouds really do run the gamut. Lovely reminder of the beauty and threat of nature's weather. Well done!. Those photo's are amazing! Wonderful artistry!
Andrea, this is lovely. I feel like the clouds are adversaries, like humans, because we are all part of nature and are here to survive.
