The Cloud and the Sea

The cloud was swollen and heavy
Hanging loosely over the sea
And the sea was quickly becoming wavy
At the power of a violent breeze

The cloud released a heavy pour down
Of heavy torrents of rain
That the sea received in a frown
But the cloud couldn’t refrain

The palm tree watched in awe
At the scenes that unfolded
Just a few miles off the shore
“Stop it cloud” the palm tree scolded

Then the cloud quickly retreated and disappeared,
Leaving the sea in unease calm
Then the bright sun broadly appeared
Prompting the sea to smile at the palm

Ah, personification at her best; where an up-stander speaks to the bully, and the bully moves on. This is what I teach to children every opportunity I get, and I get a lot of them. Well done Eunice.

Thanks Caren. Bullies must be dealt with accordingly.
