Best poetry of 2019: clouds (transience)

9. Nature’s best poetry of 2019: clouds.

Every day, members of the Cloud Appreciation Society post photos of the sky from around the world. The group’s mission, in part, is to “fight ‘blue-sky thinking’ wherever we find it.”

This year, the society collected nearly 50,000 submissions (you, too, can become a member). Above, a virga cloud in Wilsele, Belgium.

“Clouds really teach you about transience,” a divorce lawyer in New York said. “They come, they go. Like thoughts, like feelings, like so many things.”
