Weekly Wikems. Pareidolia.

Hello, everyone,
hope all's well with you.

It's Thursday, feel like writing a wikem?

I was browsing through NASA photographs the other day, found this gorgeous pic - "Illusions in the Cosmic Clouds":



The first word of the description was completely new to me:

 PAREIDOLIA.  Let's explore it today.


Here's my wikem: 

RAIN CLOUD

"Common examples of this (pareidolia) are seeing images of animals or faces in clouds..." (Wikipedia)


A big gray turtle in the sky,
its mouth wide open (my, oh my!),
is crawling...toward...the sleepy...sun...
Wake up!!! Wake...GULP! 
The sun is  gone.



Looking forward to your 'pareidolia wikems' :-)


Live for the Love of it,
Sasha A. Palmer (a.k.a. "Happy")

      We could use that turtle today - a little too much of the very hot sun.

      See you later.
