Stormy April
Howling wind and driving rain,
Rattling my window pane.
Leaves go flying through the air:
Swirling blossom everywhere.
Suddenly the clouds blow past
And the sun comes out at last.
I dare to venture out once more.
Just as it begins to pour !
Rain so cold it freezes me,
Rain so dense, I cannot see.
Rain like arrows from the sky
Rain that drenches passers by.
White flakes drift ,so is it snowing ?
Or just the falling petals blowing?
The sun is dazzling my eyes,
While rain still cascades from the skies !
Soon the storm clouds scurry by,
Showing now a bright blue sky,
I gasp in awe at nature's powers.
Stormy, sunny April showers !
