How to pop a cloud

"Popping the Clouds" is a blog created to dream. Imagine a world where dreams could come true, and clouds could be popped like balloons. Tell a story, write a poem, share a recipe, talk about your ideas. Mention your latest book, a song, a sentence, a dream... Feel free to fly and reach the "popping clouds".

Headbands in Bloom








Once the weather doesn't help to be outside, I had to stay at home and decided to create something.

Flowers in crochet











Midday. A corner of the deserted beach.

The huge, deep, open sun on high

Has chased all the gods from the sky.

The harsh light falls like a punishment.

There are no ghosts and no souls,

And the vast, ancient, solitary sea

Loudly claps its hands.

Sophia de Mello Breyner Andersen, portuguese poet (1919 - 2004 )

Love Inspiration

Here
are some good tips for Valentine's day.

You can find several ideas about love, but I must say that my favourite one is "Around the world" article, it's kind of something that I do too, but my "Around the world" is mainly Portugal :)


"This week's date night idea takes you and your partner on a romantic escape to virtually any destination in the world, even locations that only exist in your imagination. LYC readers have given their ideas for their favorite romantic destination adventures at home, including all the extra details to make it a night neither of you will soon forget. When you're ready for an intimate night for two, grab your virtual ticket ... "


And you can also find some movie quotes :

"I would rather have tasted her lips just once, touched her skin, one time, and made love to her for one night, than spend the rest of my life without ever knowing that."
From the movie "City of Angels"


Enjoy :)

Amar Perdidamente

To love!


I want to love, love desperately!
Love just for love: here ... there ...
Plus this and that, the other and everyone
Love! Love! And do not love anyone!


Remember? Forget? Indifferent ...
Arrest or loosen? Is wrong is right?
Who says you can love someone
During the entire life is because is lying!

There is a spring in every life:
We must sing it in bloom
If God gave us voice, it was to sing!


And if one day I will be dust, ash and nothing
That my night should be a dawn,
That will know how to loose me ... in order to find me ...


Written by Florbela Espanca, portuguese poet
