Good evening, Snugs. Thank you for the meteor graphic.

Happy Meteor Day.

Hope you had a wonderful Thursday.

NicknamedSue and I saw some clouds that reminded me of my "Hurricane Sky" poem. There's also one called "Clouds" that could be used.

I don't recall anything specifically about either meteors or comets, but I only write 'em. I don't remember 'em!

Amazing! There are subjects about which I have not written a poem! Hmmm...

Graphic by Billie

Hurricane Sky

Cloud bellies, looking muscular,
Big knots of corded strength,
Like rippled abs up in the sky,
I studied them at length.

A hurricane sky came strolling,
Along my stretch of beach,
A muscled bit of cumulus,
Just slightly out of reach.

I stared into the cauldron,
The writhing mass at play.
It roiled and folded constantly.
Things could go wrong this day.

The surf was pounding out the steps,
As clouds walked over land.
Somehow I knew that they were not,
Here to just pound sand.

The portents of a message,
Were all quite abundantly clear,
When Mother Nature speaks her piece,
It’s wise to lend an ear.

Superman!

“Strange visitor from another planet...”,
I know how that must feel.
That’s why I’m surreptitious,
Whenever I bend steel.

We shouldn’t alarm the natives,
Just when does Superman sleep?
Now that they know his secret,
He has promises to keep.

Much better to stay quiet,
And work without the light.
No need to call attention,
To having X-ray sight.

Flying, of course, is forbidden,
Is it a bird or a plane?
It just makes complications,
That are much too hard to explain.

So all my powers are muted,
But I don’t have to fear in the storm,
At least I can quietly glance at my cup,
And keep my coffee warm!

Good evening, Victoria.

Happy July 4th weekend. :)

Hope you had a great Meteor Day. If not, hope you had a wonderful Sky Day. Or we can celebrate Superman's Birthday. :)

Tomorrow evening, we will be having our Support the Troops Rally. I'm looking forward to it.

[JustAmy]

Ooooops ....... PS:

Thanks for the great music.

Evening, Amy. Happy July 4th weekend to you as well.

I'm in the mood to celebrate anything, lol.

How's your satellite working today?

[Victoria Delsoul]

You're welcome.

[JustAmy]

I've been on dial up all day.

I tried this morning and couldn't get a connection. I hate to shut everything down to check it.

If I don't call them tomorrow, I'll ask my son to call them Saturday or Sunday.

[JustAmy]

Thank you for the freepmail.

This is a cute poem. I enjoyed posting it.

Thank you again.

Happy Superman Day!
