Ciao!

This one was written for a poetry competition a while back. We were given the line : "Close your eyes and spread your wings". Then we were told to 'go wild'. And this is what was forged in the wilderness :

Close your eyes

And spread your wings

It isn't too hard to fly

Up in the air

And out of reach

Let the clouds 

Just pass you by

Red clouds full of anger

Thunder clapping an enchanting beat

Mesmerizingly frantic

To the ears an amazing treat

Green clouds full of odour

Like from a witch's pot

Tickling your nostrils and pulling you in

Even though your brain says you should not

Brown clouds filled with liquid

Like a liquid chocolate stream

A dream come true for every chocoholic

Whose mouth has been watering

Since Willy Wonka and the chocolate dream

White clouds full of fluff

Like snow or cotton balls

Silky on your skin

And arousing to touch

Invisible clouds filled with nothing
Like a blank canvas under an artist's brush
Waiting for your eyes to pass it by
So that your imagination
May fill this void
That has left this world dry

Come back down to earth
But don't close your wings
Cuz that is when life will die

We need to live
We need to FLY
