    [unsure...]

    I ran into a wall
    cloud. (I think
    I broke it
    open.)

    A leak sprang
    from the bottom.
    Down, down,
    down it
    fell upon a farmhouse.

    It spread across
    an open field.
    Wider, wider,
    wider – a mile wide
    it became.

    Swallowing the
    field in one gulp.

    Golf balls rolling
    off the top shelf cloud
    (Like snow in August)

    There were
    no survivors.

    As for me, I'm unsure, justice4all, if I fully understand your poem. It reads as if the N witnessed an airplane crash or sth... I can feel the drama and the violence of the event. Would you give some help with a short explanation? It inspires me with horror feeling, but that was surely your intention.

    I think, but it's only me perhaps, that the last two lines aren't necessary. Or you could write sth less obvious in conclusion of your poem instead.

    In any case, thank you for sharing your poem here and welcome (at least to me you seem to be new on this site, aren't you?) - Best regards - Bar
