Clouds Rolling By

The one thing I have always enjoyed particularly on spring and summer days is watching clouds roll across the sky. They form so many different shapes and always look beautiful, particularly against a sky of blue. However, as I sort my photos I realize I have one cloud photo too many and must decide what to keep and what to delete. At times the photos have inspired me and here is a poetic meme I created. I also remember as a child lying on green grass just watching them all sail by and losing touch with the world for a while. Cloud Memories Big and white in the sky, so very high. They come in many shapes and forms, floating along like ships in a storm. Clouds make my imagination soar, I’ve seen wild animals, alligators and dragons, such a wondrous sight - bringing me great delight. Clouds light and fluffy, in the summer sky, clouds heavy and silvery, in the wintertime, they always bring me joy, when they come sailing back – each spring that comes along. Daydreaming I seem to float up, as a drawbridge opens, crossing into my cloud castle - was always a childhood dream of mine. Perhaps a cloud, tied to a string like a balloon, fun to always put together - that cloud jigsaw puzzle. I wish I could reach up and make one mine. You can see I am so looking forward to spring. I have also decided to purchase a four-prong cane from Walmart. In this way I am sure to have support for my bad knee when I don't take a shopping cart with me that always keeps me up, so I can go for longer walks. Finally, there is Bryan Adams beautiful song “Cloud Number 9”

@RebeccasFarm thank you. This is a particularly memorable meme since the photo was taken right outside the door of the house we lived in, in Latvia.

You are good with poetry and memes. Are you monetizing?

@allknowing when I add my memes to articles I write for sites like Vocal Media along with an article.

Sometimes the sky can seem to be really enormous. This is a lovely meme.

Lovely poem. Clouds and blue skies always cheer me up. I also have a four-prong cane that's very useful wherever I go, I hope you get to use it a lot this spring.

I enjoy watching clouds, too, but like your poem more. Glad the 4 prong cane will help your bad knee.

@DianneN basically it will give me more chance of movement without always taking along a shopping cart especially when I am not buying much. I can always take a cloth bag with me. I have a nice black one that says Brooklyn Baby which I was many moons ago,

@DianneN my right knee I believe is acting up with age. It has a long history of water on the knee and a laparoscopy for a torn cartilage and for many years did not really bother me I could even dance. I believe it did not bother me in Latvia except when the weather was very cold and rainy and then I would put an ace bandage around it. Now for a couple of years, it just goes out on me suddenly and in the apartment I could grab onto something to keep from falling but outside I would go down with one leg that did not support me. So I started walking with shopping carts to hold on to and a special walker with a chair my friends have. Finally, I would like to go for walks to enjoy nature so I have to be sure something is holding me up just in case. It all started about three years ago one day like any other I wanted to pick up something from the convenience store about two blocks away and as I got about a block away from the house splat I landed on the sidewalk. There was no knee it just went. Since then I always have had something to hold onto when I go out.

I've always loved looking at clouds. When I was young, I too would lay in the grass and watch them float by. Nice poem.

I enjoyed your meme and poem. Such lovely thoughts. I have a four-prong cane that I use all the time. I wouldn't go anywhere without it.

Thank you @LindaOHio I particularly want that cane so I can go places with no shopping cart. Lately if I have needed something from out closest corner convenience store I always go with the cart but it is inconvenient if I want to go to the beach or just walk about

@RasmaSandra I think you will like the cane. I have balance issues too; and it helps with that as well.

I think I am also looking forward to spring, which is strange to me in a way since I was so looking forward to autumn and winter. I guess it's summer that I really dislike.
