Garden

 The clouds 

Fluff and puff

Like the pinkest

And stickiest

Cotton candy 

From the state fair

And as 

I’m setting

The scene

For a magical

Afternoon

I look out

My kitchen window

And my reality

Is on a nice

Downpour

To water

The parched garden

  3. I love those big ole puffy pink clouds in the early evening which coincidentally very much remind me of cotton candy. In fact I I call evenings like that cotton candy sky. Lovely poem! Thanks for dropping by my place today. Have a boogietastic week, my dear!

  8. You started off so magically, but unfortunately we all have to come down to the ground, even wet ground. Reality is relentless. Well done. In so few words you made a major impact.

  14. That sounds so relaxing. I hope you get the rain you need there. Typhoon just left our area and it's back to scorching hot.
