On Marshmallow Clouds


A bundle of blooms,
cruise a pool of cool hues,
petals fragrant and floating,
like tiny perfumed balloons.


If I could wing with the wind,
and on marshmallow clouds,
catch my breath as I sit,


I'd marvel at my majestic
   bird's eye view visit.


But the sea beckons me 
to dip into its depths,
so I jump off my cloud,
as I take one big breath,
then, drift on the water,
like the petals in bloom. 


Thanks for visiting
and happy weekend!

  14. New to your blog, but already love it. Thank you so much, Poppy.
    The images of crystal, aqua waters and so much sunshine and colours - simply fabulous. I will revisit all of these again come mid-winter, (live in Quebec City) and feel revitalized.
    Also, I am swooning over your tender green coloured china hutch (earlier posts) and would love if you would share the paint colour. :)

  17. There appears to be something about the light there that must be unique to the world. I would love to smell the morning air. I almost can from reading your lovely words.

      Thank you! Yes, the photos are of the north coast in west Crete, near the city of Chania, all the way at the other end of the island, for me.
