OH my goodness! Those "cloud words" are amazing! What a joyous read.
ReplyDeleteThank you Helen.
Deletethose clouds tinged with philosophical thoughts - the smog of wars such an interesting line
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
DeleteDreams. Some are yours some are mine. They go into a huge data base—this I know! . And so to answer your question—yes, if enough dreams of the good kind gather inside that data base, they turn to oars and the smog of wars vanish forever—this too, I know, (with a grain of salt)! So let’s spread the word, let us cloudburst, sreeja! I totally enjoyed this poem. Made me nod along. Thanks. Xo, Selma Martin.
