A cloud melted my dreams last month,
before dissolving itself into sound and rainbow.
I wonder why.

Air without wind
–I’m asking for movement
Desire covered by emptiness
Hope where fantasy died
–I’m still asking for motion
Clouds walking with birds
Leaves in windy spirals
Breeze touching my lips
–I am amused by this!

Amelia feels desperate
She is upset
demotivated
maybe sad
out of focus
a bit here
a bit there
Amelia is angry with the world
because the sky is cloudy
without shedding any snow
the trees are leafless
thin and mostly quiet
(smart birds emigrated already)
Amelia wants to shout
punch a pillow with ever-changing faces
*** of you ***
the nameless you
the one too slow at the checkout counter
the one who can’t stop texting
the one who hurts
the ones bleeding those countries
the spammers
bad jokers
sore losers
ungraceful winners
the dreamers and the romantics
pragmatics & escapists
Amelia talked to the mirror: It is so dark outside!
so many tasks to finish
so many loose ends
so …
Amelia felt hungry
humble
maybe arrogant
Nothing more than a bad day
Amelia ate a piece of bread
with butter and cherry jam
Tasty –she thought
The northern lights are behind these clouds
ready to light up the sky and my days
somehow

Today @dVersePoets Pub we have Poetics of Bread.
They fly the skies,
color the wind
and follow the stars,
just like a dream.
They’d like you to join
and play with the clouds.
They’d like you to enjoy
and smile. There’s no doubt!

Over at dVerse, Victoria encourages us to write poetry for children. My muse today was on a completely different spirit, though, as you can read in “A passing shadow“. So I must confess that writing a poem for children has been a real and fun challenge. I tried my best…
