The Big Picture

They're everywhere, don't you see?

They're white and fluffy and

Take different forms. Know what they are?

Clouds; beautiful clouds.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

They're everywhere, don't you see?

They're thin and wispy and are

Almost like a feather. Know what they are?

Clouds; beautiful clouds.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

They're everywhere, don't you see?

They're large and grey, but they're still beautiful.

If you think of storm clouds then you're wrong. Know what they are?

Clouds; bulky, but beautiful clouds.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

They're everywhere, don't you see?

They're long and thin with a coat of grey.

It looks like they're starting to cry. Know what they are?

Clouds; sad, but beautiful clouds.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

They're everywhere, don't you see?

They're small and scattered and look like cotton balls

On a majestic, blue background. Know what they are?

Clouds; just beautiful clouds.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

They're everywhere, don't you see?

They're noticeably huge, snow white, and cotton-like.

All you have to do is take some time to look. Do you know what they make up?

Stories; amazing stories.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

So, just take the time to look at them, because they won't always be there.


Author's Note: xxxxx: used to break up the stanzas.

This is a poem that I wrote on December 25, 2008 while I was listening to my MP3 Player. I have been trying to come up with a poem for my one of my favorite characters on Naruto. When I typed this up I started to see that this would be something that Shikamaru would say and decided to post it. I was thinking that I should post it up when his birthday came around (Steptember 22), but then I decided that it would be better to just post it now and here it is. Please leave some nice reviews and I might think of putting this into a story.

I have few ideas that I might use to for this poem to become a story, but I need to know how good this poem is. Well, thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you enjoyed it!!
