Dear Friends,

I’ve been spending as much time as I can looking at the sky, that gigantic cinema, as Virginia Woolf called it.

Naturally, I thought it might be fun to put together a round up of poems about clouds.

☁️ Two reminders for Paid Subscribers: ☁️

  • Remember to watch the replay of Writing the Short Poem, which I’ll keep up for the rest of the month. (And here’s Writing the Long Poem for those who want to study further.)

  • Our Poetry Today community poetry thread for June is up! Submit your own short poems for potential inclusion in Poems for Your Weekend.

And now, your weekly dose of poems!

Please comment directing me to others I might have missed! (I purposefully left out Wordsworth’s “I Wandered Lonely as A Cloud”—it’s a gem in its own right, but I wanted to focus on poems that might be new to me and you).
