Echoes of my Neighborhood

Happy Thursday! Next to trees, I love clouds. White clouds, storm clouds, sunrise, sunset…and the sun shining through them is spectacular. They stir my imagination. They inspire me.

Today is a gray, overcast sort of day, so I pulled out some of my favorite sunshiny, blue sky cloud photos (I had so many it was hard to choose!) And I would like to share them with you. Hope these little snap shots of the sky above my head is an inspiration to you wherever you are. 🙂

I call this little montage, Cloud 9 🙂

Dull

By Kat Myrman

8ball

Some prefer routine
dependable
halcyon
rigid
dull
give me
the thrilling
chaotic bliss
of uncertainty!

A new form created by Jane Dougherty called the Hourglass. Here are the guidelines:

The form: ten lines with a syllable count of 5.4.3.2.1.2.3.4.5.
Remember to centre the poem to get the hourglass shape.
Try making the word in the middle a pivotal word that sends the poem off in a different direction.
