Hola Guapa, como siempre estoy tarde pero el mes de Mayo es un mes con mucho trabajo. Es el mes de las cerezas y tenemos tantos clientes que las quieren. Una buena situacion pero no tan bueno para escribir.
I love your haiku, which paint such a vivid picture of the summer sky. I really want to go back writing haiku. I miss it. I've learned so much from you, and thank you for that. Un abrazo de tu amiga Ulla:)))

    Gracias guapa :) I just got done reading your story about addiction. I know you work very hard but your life seems like a lot of fun too. Do you want to adopt me? hahaha

Yes, Gypsy, watching summer clouds, as slow as they are, is a free pastime. Your poem evokes memories of me cloud cloud watching as a child, but it is a fun thing to do as an adult, too. Your words are well chosen to paint a picture and a leisurely mood.

Thank you for sharing your talent once again.

    Gypsy, thank you for your concern. I sometimes have a hard time readjusting to work after a vacation in which I could write as much as I want. Vacations change me and I am now throwing my energies into performing stories on stage, exercising, and genealogy. I will likely reduce my postings to once a week. I will likely resume my book project this summer. Thanks again for your concerns.

Oh, what a great poem and picture. It has me lying in a hammock, propped up on pillows sucking lemonade through a straw, watching the cottony clouds as I wait for the sun to reemerge. Great job :-)

In response to your question, I think the last line symbolizes the freedom of simply watching the clouds float slowly across the sky, at no cost and no limitations. Although they may move slow, they move elegantly.

Years ago when I was young I would lie in the sun and watch many clouds passing that were blocking my sun! I would time them with my watch! Go and make a cup of tea whilst they passed by! I have better things to do with my time now, your poem reminded me of those days, love Dolly x

I liked your reminding us to look up and enjoy the patterns in the sky as a "free pastime". I must have a vivid imagination--I could see a bull's head with growing horns! I enjoyed your use of alliteration in this tiny, summer haiku. Cheers- Joan
