DISPLAY OF NATURE - CLOUDS White clouds like cotton, Drifting by, floating away, Then darkening the sky, Clouds turning to a silver grey. Rumbling thunder breaks the silence, Flashing lights, way up high, Bolt of lightning strikes, Lighting up the whole sky!!

Pink magnolias sway in drizzling rain, Sunny marigolds laugh, all bright and gay, Carnations croon in colourful array, Laid-back lily droops in lazy disdain, Ravishing blossoms in cool wind astir, Sparkling drops of passion softly kissing, Radiant blooms, sunrays hardly missing, Faintly falling blobs form a blissful blur, Dazzling daisy dilly dallying slow, Lush lilacs...
