Scudding clouds across the sky
Sky of grey, storm building
Building shapes and animals
Animals, like one-eyed tiger
Tiger fades, rabbit jumps
Jumps with long ears sailing
Sailing bear stands tall, arms fall
Fall to follow in bear's wake
Wake builds,Buddha sits alone
Alone, marshmallow clouds quickly form
Form,ricochet of thunder combs hills
Raindrops pitter-patter as sky fills
Fills the scudding clouds, wind rising
Rising animals borne away on streaks
Streaks rise and fly away rapidly
Rapidly, the sky turns green-grey
Grey, a gunshot, lightning strikes
Strikes Willy-Willy dancing in the dirt
Dirt flies,real animals scatter, fear
Fear as storm passes, sky bright blue
Blue parade with white cloud animals
Animals stretch, we watch in awe
Awe, longing to touch land beyond
Beyond cloud dreaming, we are blessed

Author Notes
Contest Entry for any type of poem. My poem is a Loop poem where the last word on a line becomes the first word on the next line. Normally, there would be ABCB rhyming but I think this is overkill.
