Wind and Rain

The wind blew and the rain came down,

My smile quickly changed to a frown.

The leaves took flight from their previous place,

And travelled along at tremendous pace.

The rain drenched everything in its sight,

Birds were struggling to take off in flight.

Eventually the sun was able to shine,

Frown to a smile once again was mine.

A rainbow appeared high up in the sky,

The ground below me started to dry.

Some birds peeped out and started to sing,

The now warm sun drying a wing.

The wind stopped and the rain dried up,

Not even enough to fill up a cup.

Leaves have settled but made a mess,

A job for another day I guess.
