I would like to lie outside all day
on a cool, soft green lawn
near a beautiful, shady tree
under a clear calm crystal~blue sky.
A whispery billowy bluey puff of a cloud
would softly skip over me
as a squirrel or two chased each other
around me.
I would stretch out and kick off my shoes
and close my eyes
and smile
for a long time.
Perhaps I would sigh deeply~
the smell of wildflowers would linger nearby
ever slowly, a rosy glow would spread over me
whilst I thought of you.
I would relax
and I would imagine, and dream
and just be sooo very wonderful inside…
(As long as there weren’t any bugs around)
I loved reading this poem “Blue Clouds.” The descriptions were amazing. You made very good use of alliteration so that sentenced were soft and flowed nicely e.g., “under a ckea, calm crystal-blue sky.” Around stanze 4 or 5, you used an archaic terms “wilst”- I don’t think this adds anything to the poem- sort of stands out a bit to me as all the otehr words in your poem are modern. I love how you paint this poem with your descriptions-beautiful!
