My Cloud

on my- diaphanous gossamer filmy cloud- sumptuous I float woebegone flowers far and below and bluebirds come fluttering in the azure sky twittering and its beautiful gossamer filmy cloud-sumptuous the gobbledygooks with their nonsense far and below and bluebirds come drifting from the garden and forest they fly to my diaphanous gossamer filmy cloud-sumptuous the dullards with their yada yada far and below come with their hokum nattering and I yell hey you get off my cloud- sumptuous you you nincompoops bluebirds twittering and twittering beautiful assemblage of fluttering whispering hissing with meaningless words you keep off my diaphanous gossamer filmy cloud oh gentle breeze take this dreamer and flower picker of buttercups violets dandelions I see them swaying far and below in the meadows lovely and I recall the little girl me who picked them for mothers kitchen ledge oh let me drift and see far and below on my diaphanous gossamer cloud- sumptuous ______________________________ May 28, 2015 Poetry/Free Verse/my cloud Copyright Protected, ID 05-677-907-28 All Rights Reserved, 2015, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Hey you, get off my cloud sponsor, Skat, Judged 2015 Second Place

Oh, BTW, I think I am going to steal the phrase "hokum nattering" and keep in my back pocket for a rainy day.
