Clouds Sideways

(I’ve never heard of a Pantoum either - but here’s my first try….)

Today it is a morning tilted slightly sideways

And I can’t decide how I feel about it

Although yesterday I fell into the clouds

As I write, I am aware of a clock - ticking

When I was younger, journals were tedium

I couldn’t have known the weather would change so abruptly

And anyway, journalling felt like another “assignment”

I had a dream where the pages of my journal became wings
