WHAT A WRITER!!!!

This composition was written by Jackson Laurie.
It is Jack's interpretation of "eating a cloud".


A CLOUD
I just took a bite of a cloud and it tastes like clear, salty water with a touch of strawberry flavor. It feels like soft cotton candy melting in your mouth. When I take a bite of the cloud it feels like a fuzzy balloon that just popped!
What a great description Jack! You are a star.
