OBSERVATIONS<\/strong><\/h4>

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

From the back veranda<\/p>

I observe the cloud formations —\u00a0<\/p>

Cirrus, Strato, Alto, Nimbus<\/p>

and Cumulus congestus<\/p>

their names roll across the sky<\/p>

and just as quickly fade\u00a0<\/p>

from my fickle memory<\/p>

leaving only the cobalt blue<\/p>

of willow pattern porcelain.<\/p>
