A poem and some pics to mellow your evening a bit

A poem I wrote a while back, taken from a real summer moment I once enjoyed. Hope you enjoy it and the pics that go with it.

CLOUDS

Such silly, wispy,
dreamy things
we see through
sleepy eyes,
while lying in
the grassy park
on warm and
lazy days!
Daydreaming
funny shapes
within the
quiet forms
above--
Such fluffy puffs,
such creamy toys!
Sweet cotton-candy
dreams.
Reach up and try,
you sleepy-head,
to catch your
private clouds--
Imaginings all
rolling past,
especially
for you!
