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...

I love the clouds, but in my imagination, Atlantis is closer to the Bermuda Triangle than Europe.

Pareidolia they call that, the ability to see images in everyday things, the moon is a classic example, loads of cheese lol Tom

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).

I am a cloud watcher... Look at Tom's, I mean Dr. Cunningham's comment above yours, and you'll see that I have that dread affliction, 'PAREIDOLIA!' Hope it's not contagious. LOL. ~ Quarantined!
