Lumpy Oatmeal makes me Crazy!

0 posted 2007-07-11 03:38 AM


the sun was shining
blue skies tasted
sweet
and I could look into
Heaven
so I waved

magic clouds
opened and became
a whisper or a
kiss
they wrapped me
in comfort
until we descended
below their milky contours
and flew like a
giant awkward
bird

over lush greenery
and ribbons of rivers,
sloughs, creeks
weaving and lacing into
knots
and lost paths
a maze of water
that moved, with intent,
from glaciers and
mountain peaks to the waters
of the Sound
as if they were running from
the home that I was

excited to see again

a fine ‘write’!

I especially LOVE :

the ‘sweet’ blue skies…
and the line:  

“…I could look into
Heaven
so I waved (!)”

as well as the image of those:

magic clouds wrapping (one) in comfort

Applause!!

the beauty of this
turns me around and around Alison
anxious to see what lies in each corner

"and I could look into

How lovely. I just flew home from Seattle. I saw the clouds covering clouds,the winding streams and rivers. I saw the snow capped mountains rising high above the clouds, but my simple mind did not even think to make of it a poem. You did that for me. thank you, latearrival.
