The sky at sunsetis a child’s science project,tugged-thin cottonballs& pink cotton candy cyclonetacked to robin’s egg blueconstruction paper,pinned-on chunks of tree mossfor mountains, and high above,a cut-out glossy photographof the waning gibbous moon.Does a child notice this,looking up? Imagineif we all looked at cloudslike second-grade scientists.
Good morning!
Sharing on the Tuesday Platform in the Imaginary Garden
Imagine indeed! (Smile.)
ReplyDeleteThat's the only way to look at the sky!!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to imagine!! Sigh ❤️
ReplyDeleteYou brought out the kid in me. Alright, he was already out of the closet, but still...
ReplyDeleteVery sweet poem
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday
much love...
The best way to look at clouds.......
ReplyDeleteThis made me smile!
ReplyDeleteNew York City is overcast right now. But as soon as the weather makes it possible, I will look at clouds with your poem in my eyes. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine this... especially at dusk (which means 9:30 PM at the moment).
ReplyDeleteThe possibilities, the child, the clouds...
ReplyDeleteThe eyes of the child see beauty and wonder.A few lucky adults retain this magic. Enjoyed this poem.
ReplyDeleteI love your second grade scientist, Marian. We have one of those.
ReplyDelete..
Marian, as I read this poem, found myself singing, Joni Mitchell's song, Both Sides Now. What can I say, she's Canadian, like I am. :)
ReplyDeleteThere is so much about the world that I wish I could still look at through a child's eyes.
ReplyDeleteWe probably should try to look at reality with fresh, childlike eyes just to check if we have things right or not although I don't know how we would ever be able to do this.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, but perhaps we should.
ReplyDeleteor if we looked at the world itself through those eyes...you may say i'm a dreamer...but i'm not the only one....
ReplyDeleteI agree, if we dare take time from our busy schedules, and look at our surroundings through the child's eye, we'll certainly be rewarded with wonder and beauty. Lovely reminder, Marian!
ReplyDeleteif we only could see like scientists. ~
