You must not blame me if I do talk to the clouds. ~Henry David Thoreau, American essayist
Don’t give up the ship
You’ll find your place in the world
These things just take time.
Note: The theme for this week’s WordPress Photo Challenge is your Place in the World. “Where do you belong?” is the question we’re supposed to interpret. I’m finding this one hard. There are many places that call to me, and I’m often accused of having my head in the clouds! I took this shot in July 2015.

Excellent, Debbie.
Thanks for reading, John, and I’m glad you liked it!
What an impressive style of writing. You were able to put your emotions into words, this is beyond amazing. Nice work! I am Ragazza, I hope you could also follow my blog. Keep writing great stuff! Cheers! 🙂
What a lovely thing to say — thank you for dropping by, and I’m thrilled you enjoyed my Haiku! Yes, I’ll be glad to hop over to visit your blog, too!
It’s hard to write haiku, really. I can’t remember the last time I tried doing it. You are great! Please try to follow my blog. 🙂
Gosh, this gave me goosebumps – a masterful use of words, Debbie. And we should all talk to the clouds, just once in a while.
Thank you, Lucy — glad it resonated with you!

I’d love to live in the clouds! Can I come visit you sometime? 😉
Absolutely!! We’d have fun hopping from one cloud to another!
Blue skies are lovely, but they’re not nearly so interesting as one with clouds. I like your cloud, and I like your poem. Finding our place does take time. Besides, we don’t criticize clouds for drifting lazily across the sky.
Good point, Linda. I imagine we all could use more “cloud-time”! You know, I racked my brain trying to decide which place, of all I’d been or hoped to visit, was the one I could fit into this theme and came up with nothing! I guess having one’s head in the clouds comes in handy for a writer, though.
Debbie, I love this post for many reasons. I LOVE clouds and looking up at them, not only because I think they’re beautiful, but also because I like to watch them move, as they morph into various shapes. And when the sky is especially blue, the white clouds look like tufts of cotton floating across the sky. Clouds are fascinating.
Also, I love your photograph. It’s picture perfect, and goes so well with your words…

A-men!
Thanks for sharing, my friend. Have a super weekend!

Aw, thank *you*, Ron! I love watching the sky period. It changes colors, drips precipitation, and features a seemingly endless vista of cloud formations. When we were kids, we’d lie in the grass and gaze upwards on a hot summer’s day. Not a bad way to spend summer vacation, huh?!
It’s Friday — enjoy your weekend, and I’m glad my Haiku was something you liked! xx
Cool clouds, Debbie – a fun place to hang out (especially these days!) 💨😎💨
Glad you agree, Virginia! Thanks for stopping by and letting me know you did!
