L. Milton, Faces, ships, old friends filtered in sunlight. You stirred some memory cells in the Soup with this subtle haiku. I want to second John's spot on comment. -Richard

this brings me back to my childhood and how we watched clouds shape shifting. How strange I grew up and don't even think to do these things any more.

Ah, Andrea, we tend to lose so many of the joys of our childhood. I'm glad this reminded you, and now you can resume watching the clouds shape-shifting!

well this is a "HIT THE BRAKES" haiku...the mind and the muse shouting "BACK UP BACK UP".....We gotta see that again....Beautifully done.

Thanks so much to both of you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I like to do haikus when I'm out and about.

Thanks so much, Demetrios. Getting ready to go to the airport to catch my plane, so no more cloud-watching today! Have a wonderful weekend!
