'the ow...'clouds rise up like prophets'<br />'the owl-rich dark'<br />'squashes in their forest of foliate upturned umbrellas'<br />'alphabet from laughter, love, joy'<br /><br />Fantastic imagery, Roselle; you have a knack for finding just the right phrase, seemingly effortlessly.<br />For years I struggled to find the right way to describe the mesmerising cumulonimbus cloud which stretched up miles from sea to sky off the west coast of Harris. The best I could do was – beard of God, or something like that. <br />Your 'clouds rise up like prophets' do just that: the words themselves rise up like prophets.<br /><br />You've inspired me, I'll try, tomorrow. For now, a glimpse through the windows tells me that the sun has thrown a lens of burnt orange over our land – had thrown, now faded, sunk by the crenellated battle-ship cloud out in the northern sky. It's still there, eyeing me eyeing it.<br /><br />Sweet dreams,<br />Miriam xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
