Top 12 Poems Celebrating the Beauty of Clouds

CLOUDS and WIND
Poem: Phan Huy Hùng

He is the wind...
She is the cloud...
Playing the enchanting chase with life
Hovering...floating...in the sky
For whom to admire, for whom to smile, oh clouds?
Please, don't linger more,
You are splitting my heart apart

Clouds laugh, clouds are just clouds
How could I compare you to clouds?
Clouds desire a human experience,
Thinking someone is enchanted by them
The wind says, the wind takes various forms
Happy, gentle wind... a disappointed lover... a prickly wind
Oh, you! I call for the clouds to fly
Why don't you stop, wind, oh windy love.

CLOUDS

Poem: Nguyễn Phương Anh

White plumeria flowers by the riverbank busy in their blooming
A silhouette in the wind sent to the clouds
Clouds fly away on distant paths
Seeking half a lifetime following the wings of birds...

LOVE, ANGER...A TALE OF WINDS AND CLOUDS
Poem: Nguyễn Đình Cường.

Since ancient times, the wind made promises to the clouds
Taking each other to the corners of the sky and sea
From then on, the wind always narrates with grace
The love story of these two throughout the years

Clouds know their fate is not to rest
Guided by the wind, wandering here and there
Whether in the morning or the silent night
Sometimes shedding tears in profound sorrow

The wind relies on itself, enjoying revelries
Often returning with empty hands after extravagant banquets
The sky darkens, pouring down sunlight
Clouds sit and watch, the wind saying nothing

The wind, jealous, sometimes expresses
Its resentment through storms and tempests
By that time, clouds become furious
Angry and teary, their faces turn gray

The wind's jealousy makes the clouds weep for days
Sorrow floods the world, overflowing everywhere
Causing landslides, trees, and flowers to scatter
The suffering people sit lamenting, taking deep sighs

Heaven commands the wind and clouds to be merciful
Love passionately but don't persist in such ways!
Yet, the heavenly teachings are often neglected
Love, anger... a tale of winds and clouds...!

CLOUD LOVERS
Poem: Hồ Viết Bình

Natural or artificial?
Who sculpted the azure sky?
The shadows of you and me
A pair of illusory lovers!

Embracing your shoulders, I say
Lips almost touching, enough
Let's kiss, my dear
Before the heavens stir up the wind

Your clouds and my clouds
Will fade and shatter
Only remaining as a memory
Promise to meet again next time...

Seeking each other...
....in the rain and wind!
(Poetry with illustration)

CLOUDS AND I
Poem: Nghi Lâm

Clouds drift across the sea, watching me in solitude
Beneath the twilight emerging into dusk
Looking up as if pushed by the wind
Surely, they don't want to linger any longer

Early on, the clouds wisely release their hesitation
Allowing the disgruntled wind to depart
You by my side, whispering affectionately
Admiring the roaring waves on the endless sandy shore

As the sun sets, the clouds seem to sing
A lullaby for two lovers
Hand in hand in sweet, profound love
A warm kiss welcomes the descending night

Then, the clouds change colors unexpectedly
Darkening the sky with the vast sea and me
Only visible far offshore
The silhouette of a blurry ship sailing through the waves

Farewell, clouds no longer eavesdrop
To the soft whispers of your words by my side
The beloved city hastily turns on the night lights
Welcoming us back in passionate embrace!

(Saigon, evening of October 12, 2018.) N.L

CLOUDS AND WATER
Poem: Nguyễn Thị Khánh Hà

Why is it strange, my love?
Clouds keep following water endlessly
Like a love deeply enchanted
Intoxicated, they never part

Water flows to the open sea
Clouds chase the water's reflection
Wanting to express a wish
Amidst the vastness of earth and sky

Times when clouds are angry
Water stays calm, clouds in sorrow
When the waterfall surges, waves roll
Where does the cloud's regret go?

I cherish you for a lifetime
In the deepest depth
The heart remains full
Forever, never diminishing...

CLOUDS AND WIND
Author: Hồng Soi

Clouds float, remembering someone dearly
Wind blows, a constant, deep sigh
Morning comes, pink clouds flaunt the new sun
Evening arrives, the wind announces a natural disaster
Clouds shed tears during the monsoon
Wind, angry, ignores the morning sun
Mountains carry a thousand clouds in affection
Moon hangs at the wind's end, scent of jasmine in the air!

CONVERSATION WITH THE CLOUDS

Poetry: Phan Thu Hà

Looking up from the ground, pink clouds appear
In the sky, clouds are white like cotton
Sometimes like a large flock of sheep
Sometimes like a flowing river

Next to the airplane wing, clouds spread like a carpet
Floating, covering the endless distance
The sea of clouds twists and turns in layers of waves
Lifting the wings of angels - our dream

Through the small window, people are fascinated
If only we could grasp a handful of clouds
Surely it's as soft as a silk strip
As interesting as holding hands

Being friends with clouds in a moment
We once dreamed, oh clouds
It's also a bit of cloud affection
Soon landing, we're going home...

UNINTENTIONAL MISTAKE
Poetry: Trịnh Thanh Hằng

A love affair, intense and sweet
Promises as vast as the ocean, eagerly awaiting
Sweet, romantic, poetic
So much passion exchanged at this moment

Who knew someone cut the bridge's rhythm
Leaving the night in a state of restless waiting
The threads of love entwined in grief
Shocked, tears fell, the path divided

If it's not destined, let it be
We promised to meet at the end of the sky
Once again, we'll have a pair
Sending ourselves to the wind, escaping earthly ties

Forgetting all sorrows, wandering
Intoxicated, wandering freely on the open road
Longing for days near and far
Intense, soaring in every passion

No one holds back the footsteps returning
Leaving the world behind, numb with sorrow
Sweet, intoxicated together
Clouds, husband and wife, escorting the celestial wedding.

Poetry by Trịnh Thanh Hằng

CLOUDS
Poetry: Nguyệt Sương

Clouds paint delicate white flowers in the sky
Amidst autumn, the sun pours golden honey
Playful clouds wander with the gentle wind
Then roll into graceful, floating arches

Exquisite, gazing at the sky every evening
The greenish background, clouds draw a serene scene
Shapes of animals, birds, and leaves
In the high sky, clouds shine brilliantly

Exquisite, the dawn is breathtaking
When the sun rises, the sky blushes pink
Diagonal sunlight, red glow on the clouds
Weaving a new colorful sky, joyous

Exquisite, the evenings are enchanting
Sunset pauses, clouds blend with the orange sunlight
Red and purple dye the white clouds
A colossal painting hanging in the distant sky

Love the clouds drifting with the gentle breeze
Cool shadows during scorching summer afternoons
Clouds carry rain, pouring in myriad ways
All beings rejoice amidst droughts and torrential rains

There are times the sky pulls dark clouds
Driven by the wind, they become thunderstorms
At the source, rivers flow with water
Streaming down, floods inundate everything
To bring unrest to the land, drowning sorrows
Before the life buried beneath is forgotten

Land and water and clouds are truly beautiful
Let's preserve the beauty of nature
For the high sky to carry gentle, white clouds
Spreading beauty throughout our homeland

HUES OF NATURE
Poetry: Huy Viễn

Sky's clouds blend in the vastness above
Eyes of the soul wander the ethereal realm
Nature's creation paints a varied scene
Humanity preserves the desired beauty

HEAVEN'S THREAD
Poetry: Nghiêm Mẫn

I set out to gather threads from the sky
Weaving dreams into flowers for my beloved
How many threads does heaven possess?
For me to weave and win her heart
Green threads, white threads, threads of gold
The more I weave, the further she drifts away
Is it the sky or our hearts at play?
Lost in thought, I ponder if it's all in vain
Perhaps a touch of pink thread is missing
So I continue to wait for her message
Pink thread weaving with threads of gold
Someday she'll grant me the thread of destiny
