CAPTURED CLOUDS


clouds catch
a glimpse of themselves
in a meander of a river


before shape shifting
yet again
into a pod of whales


migrating across the vast
ocean
of time


that are trapped
in oils
as the painter holds them


firmly in place
and they hang
on the living room



wall admired by all
who come
across them


except the artist
who is constantly
annoyed


they she didn't
quite get them
quite right
