Pareidolia- A Way Of Perception Poem by Dr Hitesh Sheth
Pareidolia- A Way Of Perception
A depressed Guy
Was staring at sky,
Abruptly a form popped up
Assembled from
The lonely wandering clouds,
Appeared to him
Weeping inconsolably;
Suddenly, the warm joy welled up from within,
And the same clouds colluded to carve out,
A laughing form.
(Pareidolia is the phenomenon of finding familiar images in random scenes, like faces in clouds or religious icons in root vegetables)

Warm, well, within; clouds, colluded, carve - good use of alliteration. 'Joy' has to come from within! Our inner happiness is transferred to the things around us which r otherwise of little significance. Thats a literary analysis. Science is beyond my comprehension.
Clouds and the mind do play tricks. I've looked at clouds an perceived images
great descriptive write... its relative to hallucination...well versed...10

'Paradolia! '........wow I learnt a new word a very meaningful word.........and the poem is too good, with terrific images.
like all others i wld like to thank u for introducing me to the word -since a child i hv loved to gaze at clouds and walls and evertime they spoke back to me in myriad forms.at times i thought maybe i hd a streak of synicism in me -but today all my doubts are dispelled -thanks to you!
Thank you, i learned my word for the day :) I am not much of a cloud viewer i am a star gazer but i liked Sonyas comment and i love your writing as always. Thank you for sharing.
