The Backyard
The green swings
Rock back and forth
Like a baby on a rocking horse
Trees rustling through the wind
While leaves fly in the freezing cold air.
The big gray clouds arrive quickly
And takes over the sun
The shadows of the swings and trees
Began to fade away
Tiny droplets of rain
Slide down the bright yellow slide of the wooden tree house
Puddles emerge
As the rain comes down harder
The dancing plants
Finally get cold water
And the flowers begin to bloom
As the evening passes
The rushing rain eventually stops
The dark gray clouds immediately vanish
As the stunning sun starts to approach.
The gloomy day disappears
The good spirits rise
As the beautiful day returns.
