Dreaming in the clouds of poetry and food!

This blog has reflected how people in Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman have lots of time while driving on the roads! It is normal for a person to spend up to 4 hours daily if not more travelling on the busy or rather clogged roads.

The endless lines of unending traffic seems like ants waiting in line to get back into their ant holes! The disconsolate mind conjures up food and poetry, perhaps a dangerous mix! But this blog is after all to sing a song of freedom from an Open Mind and Free Thoughts!

That cloud above did look some what like the chicken in the picture below! But then the lone cloud had poetry take over my mind to the words of the great poet Wordsworth.

I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud

I WANDERED lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the milky way,

They stretched in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they

Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:

A poet could not but be gay,

In such a jocund company:

I gazed--and gazed--but little thought

What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils.


- William Wordsworth

An idle mind can play the strangest tricks indeed...that cloud looks nothing like a chicken...at least in this pic..maybe it did look chicken-like in real life view. Maybe you were just really hungry...lol
