in the sky…

head in the clouds

sunny day... pushing the clouds away....

trio of haiku to enjoy… “In the Sky” ( Themed Haiku Series)

(1)
i’m just like the sky
free, wide, beautiful, and clear
but still i am blue

(2)
when i look at clouds
they can be most anything
just like my future

(3)
i envy the birds
even when they shit on you
it is still good luck

and here’s a little nostalgia:

Blog Poetry Slam 25: Sky


This is the 25th installment of my weekly Blog Poetry Slam, so glad you stopped on by. I thought maybe today we can write poems about the sky. You can write about clouds, stars, heaven, or whatever comes to mind….. Do you accept the challenge? I am gonna share a piece after the picture and another in the comments, please join me… I look forward to reading your poems, they can be short (even haiku), long, serious, or funny: it’s up to you! Happy Writing!

mine is silly:

“Head in the Clouds”

We were cloud hopping
It was a cumulus kind of day
With a chance of clear
I told you to bounce on over
And threw a piece of cloud at you
You caught it
Threw it straight for my head
Landed right on top
And I said,”ain’t this new afro fly?”
I giggled.
You winked and replied,
“That girl knows she’s silly”
