Lying on soft green grass, trying to visualize What we could see, through our own eyes. Imagination running wild. Just like when we were a child. We all were looking up to find A vision of a different kind. Those white puffs moving slowly by Create a story in the sky. Way up there I can see A dragon and a chimpanzee. And oh, look over there. Is that a dancing bear? But as the formations shift, they slowly fade away. Along with all the menagerie. So keep the child within. Look up and be proud That what you see floating, is more than a mere cloud. |

I've done this, and I love to still do it with my kids. We try to find shapes in the clouds all the time! Thank you for this sweet reminder! |

Eloise - Such remembrances brought to mind ... with verse of clouds, so very fine. In the skyline of my younger day, a bear, a train and complete array of elephants marching in a row ... trunk to tail as they did go. I am still a child at heart. I love cloud formations as they impart upon my mind the zoo of my youth. I seek to find a meanagerie of galloping elephants running free ... just the way I'd want them to be. ~Marge~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
