Poetry belongs to the universe of the senses and emotions, to that sphere of the intangible so difficult to penetrate and grasp, to that fleeting sphere that feeds you deeply (and so fits the daydreaming lifestyle, may I add). Descartes would probably so not approve, but I do find that reason is the main rule from the morning when we lift our heavy eyelids to the evening when we shut the lights out and start zzzzzing... So, a little space for poetry, is all I ask for.
It is then lovely to stumble via the supreme hi-tech tool of Internet across a poetic creation that tries to serve a practical purpose... Let's say to announce the weather forecast for the day, for example. There is such a magical tool and I serve it to you, hoping that you will like the idea just as much as my wandering spirit did - take a peak to today's forecast for our beloved Amsterdam:
Amsterdam today: partly cloudy!
If you visit their site, you will see that the you can select a city and check out the fairy weather for today and tomorrow...the forecast is offered to you in a different way, in a poetic way that will be a refreshing change from the boring weatherman/lady wearing garish dresses and ending their presentation by the latest ecological catastrophe, just when you are swalling your dinner's dessert. Right now may be just the perfect timing for you to wander through this site - at least if you live in Western Europe: the sun is making more frequent shows and temperatures are steadily rising just as the little colorful buds that now line the banks of the canals in The Netherlands. Perfect timing, I tell you.
The design is the offspring of a poetic mind that sees in utter simplicity what the common mind cannot see. The visitor gets (for free) a bit of fresh air and and an original view that may just not be that reliable though...
Who cares?
