Clouds of Pink

~ a romantic scribble ~

~~~

When evening comes and clouds of pink

like cotton candy dreams

float visions of a softer time

a fantasy it seems

 

of soft pastels and fragile lace

sweeping the fading sky

as summer heat on cooling wind

breathes the sweetest goodbye

 

While ocean waves begin to dance

in white upon the shore

I’ll find our spot where wildflowers

the ones that I adore

 

growing in veils of ivory white

and gently as they sway

I’ll pick a bunch and wrap them up

in a lovely bouquet

 

Memories of a summer day

that passed with just a blink

and leaving me, when evening comes

dreaming of clouds of pink…

Cotton Candy Dreams? That's interesting!

Strongly pen'd up. You already know how to value the words by shaping 'em with thoughts.. it's marvelous & perfectly a romantic lullaby belonged to your "Cotton Candy-Dreams" (Just teasing you). Excellent work!

Cotton candy dreams are the sweetest of dreams! My mother used to wish me "clouds of pink and cotton candy dreams"... I wrote this in tribute to her. I'm thrilled you enjoyed it. :) Julie

You momma had a very great perception 'bout the anticipation of your brightest future life belonged to the thread of literature. She had already envisioned you jumping right ov'r the "Cotton Clouds".. on having the victory of full-fill-ment of your dreams so I guess, 'tis's why she already used to wish you beautiful "clouds of pink & cotton candy dreams" where you live real nicely. You give a very great tribute to her. Your poetic talent's quite amazing as far as I got this in few days so... I guess, you'll be going something great with life.. in your future. Wish you much luck for your career! Keep it up!

[MsJewel]

Thank you for your kind and generous words. Poetry is a hobby- but one I adore.

[Adam Adams]

Don't want to make your career in literature? (Mind me askin' you if it's not too much to ask... )

[MsJewel]

I would love to - but after six years of college, my careers pretty much set!

[Adam Adams]

Long Time ~ Very long time. Anyway... sometimes.. some things're meant to happen only with time so.. wishing you again much luck for your success wherever you want to achieve in with goodness.

Beautiful Julie. Spectacular imagery and a bittersweet mood creator that settles around the reader like virtual reality. You wrapped this up in those lines of clouds of pink like a freshly picked bouquet and presented them to the reader in a sigh. Gorgeous writing my friend.

Julie,'

When ever I read your poems I red them out loud. I do this because they read so smoothly and have a lovely flow and tone to them. I also feel from your poems that you are showing a glimpse of your heart with each piece read. Thank you for the read request.

Stunning imagery in its softness and memory making. Your heart and pen are cooperating in the enchanting romance.

Julie: Your writing, I know I'm redundant, but they are breathtaking: Clouds of Pink...dreamy: An ad to the side had two babies, cuddled together with knitted hats, such a vision, the birth and the excitement that follows: that happens everytime I read one of your poems. Those oohs & sighs....you are unreal, always consistently gorgeous poems; and the same for your artwork. Please never stop; you amazing. Thank you..Dale

sweet summer dancing in my head:)Thanks for sharing and b-blessed!

you know Julie you live in a gorgeous world I just wish it were possible to step through the veil and see it but then the glimpses that you give us in your gorgeous writing would become everyday so I think those readers among us must sit and wait for these beautiful pearls you bestow upon us and just wonder at the beauty beyond that veil or to put it another way 'I love this'!!! Thank you for letting me read it :)

[AaronFreitas]

The first verse really set the tone for the write... it is an awesome write and just like all your writes it is filled with beautiful wording :)

One of my favorite things that I love to see in life that I never take for granted.
The cotton candy clouds is how I always viewed them as a child and still do wish I could have a taste.
Delightfully written Julie!

[MsJewel]

I was lost in the beauty of words during this amazing read and the picture beautiful...

When evening comes and clouds of pink
like cotton candy dreams
float visions of a softer time
a fantasy it seems...

Great wrote!

[MsJewel]

[Writer at last! Sky ~]
