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
