I saw dancing, sheep
Of puffy irregular whites;
Running, playing, and changing
Shapes with the summer sun.
They run and catch
Each other’s tails,
bump and mate each other’s wool.
Others sleep in the curving
Corner of velvet farm,
Their colors I wonder is
Not of perfect white?
Theirs’ are sleeping colors
Puffy ash?
Then, sheep started to feast
On velvet and changing grass,
They stop, and eat and gently hop;
Till the farm in blowing wind concealed.
All these innocent puffy sheep ate
The changing velvet grass;
Through blowing wind,
Herded happily changing,
To sleep in the edge
of the velvet farmland.

Thanks Elmot for accepting my invitation for a guest post, and for this refreshing and invigorating poem.
