Staring Into The Clouds (a poem)

Do you stop to stare into the clouds?
What objects and creatures do you see?

Today I spotted a large chicken

Perhaps pleading, "please don't eat me!"

Last week I saw a frisky dolphin

Making a big, white splash

Before that, a princess with a crown

In a fancy gown with a sash. 

I see these cotton balls above
Encouraging me to float away

To drift off into another world

Be someone else for a day. 

I envy the birds and the pilots

Who soar through windy skies

While my feet are planted on the ground

Hands shooing away bugs and flies.

I stare into the clouds so peacefully

My thoughts are scattered like a dream

Soon light fades into the dark night

I dance with the stars and moonbeams.

What are you dreaming about today?  What was the last creature you saw in the clouds?
