Observations
My truck has been broken for quite some time
I needed something at the store…
The closest convenient store is an hour walk
So, I started to walk on a beautiful day
On the side of a busy road, to get there
I saw green grass and brown grass
Patches of different colors in the trees
I saw skid marks and cracked pavement
Mushrooms and clusters of clover
I saw litter: plastic bottles, empty cigarette packs,
Shot glasses, pieces of paper and more
I passed a river in a green, lush ravine
And a still, calm pond with pretty reflections
I saw tire tracks in the dirt and shiny stones
The sky was blue and the sun was hot
I saw crazy drivers and good drivers
Flowers and bushes of all different kinds
Observations not seen, with so much on our minds!
