July Clouds - a little poem

I love the clouds of July

They make me wish I could fly

They are so up there and I’m not

I’m on heavy soil where things rot

If I sink, I can smell some of the past

If I fly, I’ll be where things don’t last

I agree Peter, I would love to fly in the clouds sometimes too.

Lets fly off forever. I'm all for it. Maybe thats why they call me the Dreamr. Lol.

Fun, silly, amusing, but that poem also has some rather interesting imagery in it.

To be in those cotton candy clouds away from the earth bound clowns. Nice =)

...betwixt and between is a colorful scene, if limbo ain't too flipping hot!

Ahhh, but those clouds, they do beckon. Nice Peter...nice!

so you've got more going on than the gift of gab?
What does the past smell like?
Vivian P. Jul 28, 2009, 6:13pm UTC

Denise C. Jul 28, 2009, 4:46pm UTC
Oh I like that, ALOT. Things do smell rotten down here don't they?
Tracy Fabre Jul 28, 2009, 5:39pm UTC
The solution is to bounce.
Vivian P. Jul 28, 2009, 6:14pm UTC
bounce and flap ?

Nice verse.
So, you're in no man's land or up the creek without a paddle.
