White clouds
Floating up high
In the azure blue sky
Stirring my imagination
With forever changing sizes and shapes
There's an angel with widespread wings
French poodle, other things
Mesmerized by
White clouds.
Author notes
Never tire of watching the almost always beautiful Florida clouds.

I counted the syllables and everything seems right but the shape is off so you might want to change words and find some that are shorter or longer so that the rict takes on it's perfect diamond shape. I love the thought though.

This is a wonderful write, I love to point clouds out to my kids and see their expressions at the pictures in the sky. This poem made me feel like I was 10 laying in the grass. Best of luck in the contest.

Excellent, I haven't stared up at the clouds for such a long time and this poem has reminded me of that. One thing though shouldn't the line "french poodle" be either "a french poodle" or "french poodles" I prefer the first of the two suggextions I have made as it keeps the flow and improves the grammar.

Such a simple topic, but one that stretched the imagination so wonderfully! This was very flowing- just like clouds going across the sky. Excellent poem! I thoroughly enjoyed it and I wish you the best of luck in the contest!

Vivid and Real Feeling
I chose to read this poem because the title gave me an image of white clouds across a blue sky. I am so glad I followed my thoughts. Terrific Write! I am going to share this with my 11 year old son since he is always seeing painted cloud pictures in the sky and "White Clouded" does just that. -
White clouds upon the horizon can take on any shape or form to conform to the shape reflected upon our minds image. Revealing in return the nature of thyself up high in the sky upon our feild of dreams. Great write Take care and God bless. Sorry i just started writing couldnt stop.
-
I could sit and stare up at the clouds all day, making picutures from them, making them into anything. This was a wonderful write, take care. Lissa

Not only is the flow so smooth, I think you can look beyond it being a Rictameter to a form of shape poetry. One can see a vivid outline of the cloud in these verses. Very well crafted.
Best,

I hadn't heard of a rictameter before now, but it seems to be a great form. I was horrified by your rhyming "sky" with "high", but the comparison with poodles was interesting. I quite liked this!
-
That was awesome. Great description. I liked the part where you described the cloud as a poodle... interesting. It really does make we wanna go outside and lay down and stare at the clouds... just stare at the sky... that sounds so relaxing right now... ahsh, now you've got me wanting to just run outside. Good job; I really liked this.
-
I love Rictameters and this one floats high in my book. Excellent job here my friend. Good luck with the contest. You are so good with the differnt forms and styles of writing.
Much Love,
Renee
