About Clouds If you look into the sky You may see castles drifting by, And dragons chased by knights of old On quests of chivalry brave and bold. You may see ships with billowing sails Chasing after fluffy whales, Or fleeing from some mighty storm Seeking shelter from it’s harm. You could see a wizard, old and wise Fire burning in his mystic eyes, Casting forth a magic spell To conjure a spirit from the well. There’s a fire truck chugging along Filled with firemen, brave and strong, Racing by to save the day Wave them on their hero’s way. These are the things I see in the sky You can too if you really try, Just lie on the slope of a grassy hill And let your mind make them real. Bobby G. Jarrard Copyright 2005 by Bobby G. Jarrard |

I think you may have been watching the same sky that I have. This is a delightful poem reminding me thet the young and the not so young use clouds for dreaming. I have a lovely picture of clouds that shows me something different everytime I look at it. Good job here. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

Hello, fellow cloud gazer! There is magic in the white, billowing skyscapes! Not only did I appreciate the visuals and your wonderful imagination, I also enjoyed the rhyme and lilting cadence of your writing! Warm, welcoming hug, Earth Angel |

Bobby, Welcome to Passions. Man you took me back to my childhood layin' on the lawn watching clouds to see what they offered. This flows smooth and is very meaningful. Thanks.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
