Brooms
When the wind is high,
Tall trees are brooms
Sweeping the sky.
They swish their branches
In buckets of rain
And swash and sweep it
Blue again.
April has brought to Nova Scotia not showers but torrential rain and high winds. Here are a couple pictures of my nephews playing outside after the latest storm: One of my nephews is fascinated by all creepy, crawly things. Here he is after the rain, rescuing worms stranded in the driveway and carrying them over to the lawn. Below is a poem by Dorothy Aldis, who wrote children's poetry and stories in the early 1900's. Her poem Brooms describes the appearance of trees in stormy weather, bending in the wind and brushing the sky. Brooms On stormy days When the wind is high, Tall trees are brooms Sweeping the sky. They swish their branches In buckets of rain And swash and sweep it Blue again.
