Daydreaming – A Quadrille

by  • 

Daydreaming

Cumulus clouds congregating
High in the blue sky
Forming fluffy puffs of cotton
Constantly moving, changing shape
Abraham Lincoln holds a sheep
While the dog’s head grows in size
Eventually becoming a whale
Daydreaming in the sun’s warmth
Letting the mind be curiously creative

    “Abraham Lincoln holds a sheep

    Eventually becoming a whale” – Love these lines! Awesome imagery

    Cloud-gazing is one of my favorite pastimes …. your quadrille describes it perfectly.

    ‘Abraham Lincoln holds a sheep’ 🤣we are keen cloud-watchers in our household. My son saw George Washington the other day!

    Love your Lincoln cloud. The kids and I play “what do you see” frequently and I enjoy where there minds lead them.

      Thank you! My Abraham Lincoln and sheep came from clouds I saw earlier that day. When I picked the photo for the post the first thing that became visible was the Labrador Retriever head and I had to change the quadrille slightly to include a dog. It was so clear 🤣

    Scientific fact: If you stare at them long enough, your gaze melts them..
