The sky is going grey <br />The clouds are forming <br />The sun is moving away <br />Cos the rain is coming <br /> <br />The plants leap for joy <br />They can’t wait to get the fall <br />Tired of the sun and its hot poison <br />Soon they’ll be growing tall <br /> <br />Umbrellas turn walking stick <br />Pedestrians rushing to their destinations <br />Everyone is trying to get off the street <br />So as not to be caught up in desperation <br /> <br />Down to the countryside <br />Animals are looking for shed <br />Children are enjoying the sight <br />Preparing to play in the rain and get wet <br /> <br />There’s excitement in the air <br />It’s about the coming of the rain <br />Everyone is happy everywhere <br />looks like it only came a decade ago<br /><br />Stewart Gideon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/recovering-from-drought/
