Poem Artwork

If you are a literary man, you'll clearly see

That there is a cloud floating on the range

Of this sheet of A4 paper. Without a cloud

There will be no water (ink), without water,

As is well known, the trees cannot grow,

Without trees you cannot fire, without fire

You cannot fertilize ground, without earth

You cannot grow trees, without trees
 
You cannot manufacture paper indeed.

This is the reason why the cloud is in here.

Existence of this page is completely

Dependent upon the existence of cloud --

Without inspiration it's hard to write a line.

The paper and cloud are so close in nature

Because the elements of Water and Wood

Are in the parent-and-child relations.

Wow! You've captured the essence of our global conundrum in a few short sentences, making us fess up to who the &*T$%ck we are. An endemic drowning we are all facing.

You have included part of the cycle of life in this insightful poem. I would only add that, without the trees and moisture evaporating from their leaves, there would be no clouds.

"I've looked at clouds from both sides now. And still somehow, I really don't know clouds, at all."--Joni Mitchell. Some of the greatest poetic songwriting ever.

Great connection between paper and clouds, makes me think we should put paper as part of the rain cycle in there somewhere, that would throw kids for a loop in school but maybe would get em to thinking some, which schools don't do anymore.

I met Jerome on a busy city street in Baltimore, Maryland, when he was forty-five years old. On that particular day, I was out and about, enjoying a much-needed day off from work. I wanted to purchase a sukiyaki sub. I parked my car in an area of
