Dark are the clouds, gray is the sky
A gentle breeze blows, and the leaves rustle by
Wet is the ground, cool is the air
The kids stuck inside grumble, "It's not fair"
Tires spray water as the cars speed by
Well-dressed passers-by nimbly step aside
Bright are the umbrellas, glistening is the road
Raindrops collect on white flowers,
Leaves tremble under their load
The crows try to shiver themselves warm
as pesky flies begin to collect in a swarm
Trying to keep time, trains whistle past urgently
Shuffling passengers at stations wait, just a bit impatiently
An earthworm wriggles out of a sated burrow
Two toddlers look on curiously as a snail crawls along slow
Skinny waterfalls form, mist swirls on the distant hilltop
A rainbow arches proudly nearby, making people stare and stop.
