They Walked To School

In late summer. They walked along the red brick sidewalk. The bricks sunk into the ground, long ago. Leaving grass and red patches, to show. Branches from the apple tree, hung low. They picked apples above the sidewalk. In early fall. Wildflowers flowered along the way. Blooms were bright purple, red, and blue. Cows in the pasture and new grass grew. Leaves from tall trees past them, blew. They collected leaves while going the way. In cold winter. They walked the car track, making the path. Snow came to rest on tree limbs, now bare The snow covered the leaves, with care. The white field had no, cows there. They walked behind snowplow, making the path. In new spring. Wildflowers flowered along the road. Blossoms bloomed with limbs, leaning. Cows pastured with new grass, greening. Trees spread new leaves with, meaning. They walked to school, down the road.
