Cloud Soup

I heard about the soup made of clouds

one fine afternoon over Zoom.

I imagined myself drinking it

And floating out of my room.

Tell me how this soup is made;

What kind and how many clouds will I need?

Do I look for small wispy clouds

or large fluffy ones that look like sheep?

Let me just step out to my balcony

And pluck the clouds from the sky.

Oh dear, I hope I don’t need onions.

When the weather is so nice, I don’t want to cry.

You said it’s your favorite soup

And I would love to make it for you

If only we didn’t have to social distance

But hopefully, things get better in June.

AN: A while ago, a friend of mine shared that she was making a simple dish made of eggs for dinner and she called it “Cloud Soup”. I loved the name and it reminded me of a poem from my high school English text book called “Cloud Zoo” written by Norma Gillet. So, I wrote a poem similar in style to "Cloud Zoo" just for fun. 😅😁
