A Mission On
Right on top of that hill purple
Where down the valley graze cattle
Floating they move- the misty clouds-
Clad in pure white and selfless grey,
Parting the sky,
Like fluttering spongy cotton bustle…
Swiftly they move on a mission
As if, a mystery I wonder;
Wait O mind, you not wander blind;
Puzzle solved, put your pen down;
It starts drizzling…
The mission is over- they bring you rain…

I love the way you develop this poem... there is ambience then the pressure builds with expectancy... to the natural conclusion... Most enjoyable metaphors... Stroke of genius: 'selfless grey'... fresh and innovative

Like sadness that stumbles holding on as if relentless and persevering, clouds gather and increase their momentum, their burden dismembered when they roll relentlessly, their mission over............peace and relief forever. Your poem is a parallel of this exotic thought.

Interesting. The visual image creates the scene as the colours and lovely imagery unfold, expressing the poet's dilemma until reality ends it. Fun and beautiful.
