Childhood cloud dreams
Tall ships and sea serpents fight
To the hot sun death

I am a scientist by trade and artist by soul. My creative outlet used to be dancing but due to injuries and age, I must now find another path. I am hoping my writing, poetry and photography can be this new path.
Awards: While I am grateful and honored for the numerous nominations, I don’t have time to respond to them with the attention they deserve, so for the most part, I am an award free blog.

I see the images you described in the clouds. I have a photo of a unicorn cloud on my cell phone.
I love the song, “Both Sides Now.” The part with clouds in it makes me smile and the part with Love in it makes me sad a little.

So poignant and nostalgic, especially the haiku and picture together. Lovely work (as usual). 🙂

Awww, that is a great song. I will remember that now when I look at clouds. I am so glad you can see the images. I was a bit worried I was the only one…..

Thank you! That is the green roof of the building I work in. I am often up there taking photos, especially cool clouds and weather phenomena.

What is that phantasmagorical picture on top? So beautiful but can’t possibly be real.

What a great word , “phantasmagorical”. Very real the clouds this time of year are spectacular. Unfortunately it also means we are getting deep into hurricane season.
