Perfect Flying Weather

As far as the eye can see, cerulean sky Neither a wispy cloud nor contrail in sight A perfect picture of infinity will apply, As far as the eye can see, cerulean sky Kind of day I have a strong urge to fly Birds, bees, and butterflies taking flight, As far as the eye can see, cerulean sky Neither a wispy cloud nor contrail in sight.

Thank you so much, Paula. I really enjoy writing triolets, and I was surprised that this one was chosen for placement. Hope you have a marvelous week, my friend.

We need skies to mimic what you have written. Sometimes it is rare to find such beautiful skies here in NY. Hopefully that will change in the comming months Milton. Have a great day...

Hopefully, Michael, for everyone's sake who wants to fly. Nothing like cerulean, cloudless skies.

Sweet, Milt. Even I, afraid of heights, might take a 'flyer' on this invitation. :)

I am scared to death of heights, but I love to fly. Go figure.

I just want to dive into your wide cerulean sky (love that shade of blue!)

It's so beautiful here today, Michelle. I would hope everyone has a day like this to wind up June and introduce the July 4th holiday weekend.

Big cumulus clouds rolling in here; hopefully we will see a little rain later today. Nice triolet!

I hope you do, for your garden's sake. They will probably be here tomorrow. Thanks, Jeff.
