Friday 27, 2011 Theme Thursday



Clouds over New Mexico

Theme Thursday prompt: Cloud

Clouds
Ordinary and extraordinary
The spring board
For the imagination
A hole to fall down
A place to "get lost"
A place of freedom
Lie on your back
In the grass
Breath in
The luscious air

The circus has come to town
Elephants parade
With tails in their trunks
Clowns tumble
The lady on horseback
A tight rope walker

A symphony
Plays just for you
Violins and horns
Strings and air
Bassoons or trumpets
The Maestro
With his stick

A fairyland
Of castles
Elves and
Magical creatures

Alice's Wonderland
The queen of hearts
The mad hatter
The rabbit
The Cheshire cat
Tea cups and such

Lands far away
And magical
You don't have to
Go anywhere
Wear special clothes
It doesn't cost
Anything

Right in your
Own back yard
A collection of
Funny actors
On stage
Clouds are
Nature's story teller
And all we have to do
Is look up and dream
Images emerge
The words of
The story follow

Friday November 19, 2010 Poetry Big Tent

The prompt was to write a cascade poem.

Big Apple Circus
The Big Apple Circus,
The big top had an unusual form,
It was a one ring circus,
Just your European norm,

A film was made, about
The folks in the circus,
Their lives in and out,
The Big Apple Circus,

There was a tight rope walker,
Jugglers, and such,
The tiny horse died,
The big top had an unual form.

The clowns were introduced,
Their act they perfected,
Made everyone laugh,
It was a one ring circus.

The fliers were graceful,
The catcher had a stronge arm,
They flew through the air.
Just your European norm.
