Shadows Seen

It was a long weekend The weather man reported About our weekend weather Would be rain for three days The strong wind is blowing If you closed your eyes You would think of waves Coming to the shore For me its peaceful sound When all the rain stopped The sky had some clouds seen White puffy clouds shaped round They were slowly floating by Then the sun was shining All sorts of shadows seen Some looked like birds Others looked like animals Dog shadows looked huged
