Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

Nature Cleans

It was a moody day
rain fell slowly and steadily
not wanting to stop
green tree leaves 
hung heavily
laden with moisture
puddles became larger
covering the streets
hiding  pot holes
the start of a small stream
runs along the sidewalk
washing the dirt
to the nearest drain hole
cleaning city streets
mother nature
refreshing and rejuvenating  
doing her housework.
