Poem: In the sky

Dutch countryside - 1 July 2020 - Iphone SE 2020

This poem is dedicated to my children, who like many other children have a great imagination.

Going down the highway, staring at the heavens,
A bloated dragon transfixed my gaze.
It was spitting fire, but scared I was not,
As soon it disappeared into the haze.

Moving slowly along, waiting to be discovered,
Was a long wrinkled trunk, flailing in the air.
‘Twas easy to imagine the puffy elephant’s bellow,
I looked on with intrigue but had no fear.

Next in line - were two gigantic lions,
Floating high, but quickly were disarmed,
Becoming fluffy white clouds like pillows so soft,
A reminder that there’s no cause for alarm.

There were ships, horses and birds in flight,
All appeared against the skies - so blue,
Isn’t it amazing what an azure background,
Clouds and a vivid imagination can do.

Ah - the Dutch countryside makes me feel just a weeny bit homesick - lovely!!

And yes, we see in the clouds what our hearts and minds are open to see.

Aww sorry about that but I hope you will still enjoy the photos I post. I also posted a few photos of Amsterdam.
The terrain is different from your current location but I am always grateful for the diversity and beauty of nature.

I remember when I was so young, I used to have these kind of imagination whenever I gaze at the clouds - between this is a wonderful poem, I wish I had a whale power to vote it to the moon.

I think we are @riverflows - looking and hoping for a change as the clouds change. After all - “as above - so below”.😀

Many thanks @vicvperezdelara - now I am curious. When I get a chance I will check that poet’s work.
I am happy you enjoy it. My kids loved that it is dedicated to them.

Children do have a great imagination because they haven't been influenced by the world's rigid thinking yet.
