"I wandered lonely as a cloud” Quote by - William Wordsworth I wandered lonely as a gallivant Looking for some ways to fill up my days I came across a mighty swarm of ants And was completely blinded in the haze When the air cleared I heard claps of thunder My heart sunk, there was I going under. Each cloud exhibits a dazzling side In my view, gossip is plain to see But I'm certain the adage is implied It was joyful to view this bloom of glee How can I be certain, you wonder? I'll assess what pushed us asunder. I recognized the bloom in the sky Moreover, the crowd pushed me down I just remained there and froze in dismay My ribs were slamming and shifting around Lastly, I was kept in a hospice room As doubtful as the light, I'm in a gloom. This bed is where I spend a lot of time My mental image has instantly formed Anger, apathy, or tearful glazed grime Those pink, murky clouds above warned The agony then spreads across my chest But I still warn myself to do my best.

Excellent entry for the contest, Lasaad. You certainly met the lonely and challenging part. Good luck in the contest! Bill P.S. I hope this isn't real, my friend. If it is, be careful and never give up. Bill

You'll find plenty of beautiful nurse to gallivant with, assuming your ribs will allow it.

Sad that your journey in search of fun and pleasure ended up in such an unexpected way ! Yet you are not heart broken. Your vocabulary is so immense that often I require a dictionary by my side. All the best in the contest, dear Lasaad !
