cold shifting day
ReplyDeleteDRIP DRIP DROP!!! as the rain drops fell on my face.I felt wet and cold,as cold as Antarctica's chill. SPLASH! as I ran through the puddles of fallen raindrops.Freezing frosty flakes drops fell fluttering from the sky.I walked into the cold chilly alleyway, and then i knew something was wrong....

The Splashing Puddles
ReplyDeleteSPLASH! It was a very wet rainy day. It was like the sun had disappeared into another planet. CRACK! the rain started turning into hail. Then I went outside. Then all that was left was hail in the city.

ReplyDeleteRhythm of the Rain
ReplyDeleteSplat! it was a pouring day.The sun vanished like the universe ate it. When I went outside I felt the wind race across me.I felt like I was trapped in ice.Then suddenly something happened do you know.

A Beautiful Rainy Day
ReplyDeleteWOW! look at that awesome rainbow! did you know that if you mix rain and sunshine it can make a rainbow? DRIP! DROP! DRIP! DROP! rain is falling in my ears (it tickles.) WHOOSH! I see a little girl floating a small paper boat to sail in the water.The boat started sailing far away and then it got caught in a whirpool of water and was just about to capsize just then the little girl's palm reached in time and saved the boat. oh! what fun it was to watch, oh! what fun it would be if the little girl there was ME ...don't you agree?
