Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Blue Sky Surprise

In a fluffy blue sky, clouds of Europe revealed
The continent forms, so ghostly surreal
With a boot for Italy, three-fingered Scandinavia
  Off the coast lies England, royal isle like Batavia

As the puffy land mass drifts over my head
There Iceland and Greenland, sans glaciers, spread
  Out wide to the North -- when startled my heart!

   Atlantis appears, right in the sea's part
   cartographers ancient told us she lay
     ~ Then soft floats away, illusion at play...

Tom Cunningham July 8, 2020 at 1:47 PM Pareidolia they call that, the ability to see images in everyday things, the moon is a classic example, loads of cheese lol Tom Gershon Wolf July 8, 2020 at 4:54 PM So, that's what I've got, Dr. C?! (Or should I call you Dr. Rohrschasch!) Can you recommend a treatment plan for me?! Also: How soon can I expect results, and how much are the charges per session?...Final question: Would you like me to refer you, oh, say, about 100 other loony poets?! lol. Thanks a million, Tom for the education! ~ Gershon the Nictophiliac (as opposed to Insomnia).
