Enigma Weekend Edition Poem: 'The Clouds Billow'

The Clouds Billow

By BaiLee Herr

The clouds billow as the sun rises. The yellow and

gold rays jet out so we can enjoy their beauty

The cold air brushes through my hair and past

my face as it settles on down and brings me

to peace

The trees, green and fluffy like a bunny’s

cotton tail. Its trunk, thicker than that of

an elephant’s. Its leaves green, but on the brink

of turning orange, red, yellow, the sign of fall.

The air clears my mind, cleans my thoughts, my

head. The leaves on the ground are so beautiful.
