The clouds do not wait; they slip through the horizon, leaving us alone. |

And they landed on Kansas. Thanks for sending them... we're receiving the moisture we're so thirsty for...  Beautiful poem, Ed. |

Yes, me too I feel the clouds sometimes as a beautiful presence..... the white ones especially! You convey a sense of belonging to the Whole. Love, Margherita  |

RatL, hi there -- I've been out of pocket for about a week (under deadline). I have to tell you, though, that this senryu struck me a being very simply profound!  ..jo |

The clouds are a soft billowing as they pass, like everything else though, they never last. When I was a kid I wanted to sleep there, wishful thinking huh? Hope all is well with you Ratleader~ |

RatL. maybe this is way off, but Cloud #9 comes and goes...to Kansas I read! It's good to read your work again. You have your own unique style/styles that are well liked here. ~Sadelite~ |

But were they deserting... or being discreet? *G* I've read this several times in several ways... and like every path it takes my mind on... whether I find poignancy or privacy... or simply an incredible capture of a moment in time. *S* |
