Menagerie

The sky is blue the ground is brown.
Rain will come I can hear thunder
In the distance. The animals run to
their homes as they jump off the
rough trees.
The sky darkened by the soft fluffy rain clouds, one drop,
two drop, three.

The sky is black as the night hits.
Bright shining yellow stars come
Out to play. As the last of the sun
Goes down the silver moon comes,
And crickets start to play their
Songs coyote comes out crying to
The moon he can be heard from far
Away. The bright white cactus
Flowers bloom better than ever.

Menagerie

In the painting I become a bear and the sweet taste of berry flavor is in my mouth.

The leaves are falling winter is coming the sunsets into the night. Red and blue mix together to make purple.

As I step, I can hear branches snapping under my paws. As I move I can feel the rough leaves crunching under me.

I can smell a honey scent under my nose.

When nightfall comes I go to my cave round like a soccer ball so I can rest for the night.
