Clouds graze the sky;
below, sheep drift gentle
over fields, soft mirrors,
warm white snow.

The Unbearable Lightness of Being
The Uncivil Likelihood of Bell ringers
The Unctuous Limestone of Belt
The Underdeveloped Lineage of Berber
The Undernourished Line-up of Beryl
The Undertaken Lion of Bête noir
The Undulating Lisp of Bezique
The Unfortunate Lithograph of Bicycle
The Unidirectional Livelihood of Bikini
The Unique Load of Billow
The Universal Lobster of Binoculars
The Unlimited Locomotive of Birdcage
The Unpleasant Log of Bisulphate
The Unsaid Loner of Blabber
The Unstable Long wave of Black ice
