Watching the clouds

Waching the clouds of the sky,
They look ever so mucha like yesterday's clouds,
But they are not the same;
They move gently or swirl wildly
They turn from white to gray to black and back again,
Sometimes they even disappear from sight.
Broadly speaking, you can identify different kinds of clouds -
Cumulus. cirrus, tratus, altostratus-
Categories of clouds for scientific purposes;
But oh how little do those categories tell you
About the clouds that pass today.
Categories are great deceivers -
Good for simgle teaching and communicacion,
But ever so deceptive when it comes to knowing clouds.
