Clouds

In my innocence,
I thought the clouds were cotton,
bordering earth’s hem.

    I love all your poems and pictures but this one especially.
    What fun to think of “the earth’s hem”!

    Thanks for your funny little shadow poem too. “I have a little shadow” is one of the first I remember my mother saying to me (and she is gone 43 years already).
    But yours is a lot more fun.

    Thanks for the poem. I like it. 😉 If we see here in Finland these kind of clouds, we say, they are just like lambs.

    The shadows cast by clouds are always neat, they seem to move so fast and have such a randomness to them.

    The shadows fall upon the lush grounds, the puffy clouds cutting the warm sun a bit. This place is pastoral, quiet and serene. The clouds have a shadowy underside as well, and ‘peaceful’ is the operative here – we all can quietly enjoy…

    This warms my heart — so childlike in its supposition!

    Beautiful! So, were you at the hot springs that Murrieta is known for? I’ve never been.

    Great shot MMT. I love when I can see the shadows of the clouds moving along the earth, and your words are apropo, they do look like large balls of cotton
    Try This Place for B&W film. Otherwise, I have seen the cheap Kodak stuff at Walgreens.

    Peace

    your photo reminds me of my childhood. all the times I sat in the pasture, on a hillside, and watched the cloud shadows pass over the land. I love it. and the haiku? it’s my favorite.

    Thanks for my lil’ rum laced poem, I always look forward to them every Sunday…we’ve all become such great friends on Harriets’ lil’ meme, I wish I had more time to visit all the newcomers…but alas, my gardens await and I need to finish my chicken run today. My little peepers are growing fast now and need to be in a bigger, covered space to eat more ticks and grasshoppers that invade their (and my)space…fun lil’ creatures to watch, they start my day off with a smile!

    Have a wonderful Sunday!
