Clouds and Festivals

CLOUDS AND FESTIVALS He lay out on the cellar door one day lazy gazing at the sky A child Before he knew why clouds move Sunny Late afternoon Grey ghostly moon The busy honey bees Suspended Sip Then BUZZ zip! He’s heard the Earth goes round His following eyes go round and round Suddenly! he’s off the ground quite a vital sort of primal ecstasy Clouds and Festivals Surreal Nature’s sounds Music in the air infects the skin the veins A shiver! ah those few moments so rare then Mother calls him in to dinner

Daver, I am not sure I understand about the "block" layout thing. If you told Connie you were having trouble seeing some of the poems at PFT such as mine, she would have changed you to the form that allows you to read all the poems posted at PFT. That may be the block form you are mentioning. But I don't know if it would solve the problem of me being able to post back to YOU. sorry and I hope it gets straightened out, Daver.

Daver what do you mean about Soup removing your poetry from scan? Did you know that I am able to read all your old poetry by going to a list for ALL your poetry (it's over 9 pages) Did you know about that?

This one seems familiar to me, Daver.Was it in one of those childhood books of yours I got from you? It's very nice. I see your poems from PFT too. But I am not responding to them because I don't believe you get my responses to them. Anyway, maybe one day that will all get straightened out. At least we have SOUP.
