Now for this month’s haiku…

When I was very young, I often looked at the clouds. I watched them drift, change shape, swirl, and sometimes disappear. And, as many do, I would see the shape of an animal or object in them. It was easier back then. Perhaps my imagination was freer in the innocence of those early years. Every now and then, though, their shape or color still strikes me — as in this photo!

A picture of light streaming down into clouds that look like steam. Foliage is on the left side and bottom of the photo adding to the jungle-like effect.

Perhaps you’ll look at the photo and see something entirely different. And that’s okay!

For those using a screen reader, the haiku is:

In illusive clouds
Is a jungle waterfall;
My mind travels far!
