Cloud Congestion?

PROMPT: War Chest Wednesday! Write a myth that explains why clouds have shapes, ( and/or how they got them).http://www.ngdir.ir/SiteLinks/Kids/image/earth_en/clouds.gif http://www.ngdir.ir/SiteLinks/Kids/image/earth_en/clouds.gif http://www.ngdir.ir/SiteLinks/Kids/image/earth_en/clouds.gif

          My brain, and thus my powers of imagination have been hijacked by a head cold. Clouds of congestion are enveloping my thoughts......

         I believe clouds were a by-product of powerful birds in flight. How about the mythical phoenix, a bird that loved the sun? What would be the plural of this name; phoenixes? A flock of phoenix challenged each other to aerial acrobatics; soaring, swooping, sailing, somersaulting, and slicing through the brilliant blue sky. With each manoeuver, particles of fog were swept up and re-located; deposited over vast expanses of horizon. Some of the fog was transformed into heaped, puffy, low-lying pockets, (cumulus clouds). Other fog fragments formed billowing sails known as velum clouds. For the high altitude thin and wispy fog, cirrus clouds were born. Churning, turbulent, fast-flowing fog metamorphosed into funnel clouds associated with tornados.

         With the creation of cloud cover, the phoenix were able to indulge in a new game; hide-and-seek.
