Gloom

Clouds can take
Every shape
I can think of,
And that's great.

Except when I spot
A pattern in the sky
There's no one near by.

This is one of the bestest of poems that you have written. It very beautifully expresses an unfulfilled 'desire'. Few words, and much thought. Keep it up!

but if there's someone near, u may not have the oppurtunity to look at them..give it a thought!

u always seemed to me
- i dont know why
to be someone who wud look up
n wisely stare at the sky

n so i fear
that theres merely a year
to glean from u all i can
(im not an ingratiating parasite-man)

B'lore seems to be giving you lots of time to "cloud gaze"....or is it just that you have a corner cubicle with a window?

And thats why you should take a digicam, and show it later to everyone else!

[debosree] Thanks, and thanks for visiting. :)

[abhinav] The staring in the sky is quite pointless, though. I hope we stay in touch beyond the year as well, why do you think we might not?

[rohan] No windows, I can't make out night from day where I work, but I have a beautiful view of the sky and the sporadically-lit Bangalore from my tenth-floor apartment's window. It's quite a sight when it rains.

[vivek] You can't notice clouds in amateur photographs. This is the kind of thing that will not photograph well.

[faith, anirudh] Thank you both! :)

[phoenix] Whatever pleases you. :) I am like a two-year old sometimes, and like any two-year old, I refuse to accept it!
I remember a lot of conversations, but don't remember this particular one.

[inhas] Economical encomium for sparse verse?

[phoenix] Sorry, Phoenix, I remember the incident and I also remember I got off two stops after you guys did and ran the way back, but don't remember talking about kids at all. :(
