Midsummer day walking with my grandson.
Skies above were turning billowy gray
Raindrops began slowly, gently, trickling down.
Grandson stopped, gazing upward with a frown.
Standing there staring toward wayward skies,
rhetorical question lingering within his eyes.
Why do clouds cry?
Answering himself with this reply.
I' m thinking I might know why.
Their daddies said good-bye .
Yes that's why,
lil' clouds Cry
Their faces all swollen, puffy, sad.
I'm thinking they are extremely mad.
Daddies were coming to visit today.
Their boss men keeping them away.
Ruining everything they had planned.
Don't worry clouds because I understand.
Please clouds don't cry,
the sun will surely shine again.
Daddies are coming next weekend,
Granny says that; must be true.
Clouds don't be blue,
Daddies always love you.

From one granny to another, good answer! Always smoothing out the wrinkles in the silver lining of the not so - dry day. I liked this. Swollen and puffy is fine for describing clouds. Even our precious little babies get the blues, as your poem points out. Daddy's are wonderful at chasing the blues and clouds as well away, when available. Meanwhile, Grandma intervenes and scores. Great save!
very very very very good. nicely written, very original. i myself, never think about clouds that much teehhehehe, but if i did, i could never write a peom this good ^-^
