Rachel heard her mothers voice echo loud,
It�s time for school! Get your head out of the clouds.
Rachel sat there gazing upwards at the sky.
Watching ice cream castles floating by.
Unicorns and dragons chased by misty nights,
Charcoal mushrooms were concealing golden light.
Pirate ships filled with treasure and gold doubloons,
Racecars, rocket ships, and a hot air balloons.
A pair of teddy bears aloft in levitation,
A cumulous zeppelin, as a means of aviation,
An elephant, a lion, and a monkey,
Followed by a two-humped camel and a donkey.
Walls of stratus clouds rolling just like waves.
Cirrus ghosts of long departed knaves,
Rachel�s sky was burgeoning with revelations,
They were but products of a child�s imagination.
