  1. Weather Signs

    Share Share Post
    Signs of rain.
    A smoky kitchen.
    The ducks quack.
    Faraway hills seem near.
    Old peoples corns pain.
    Signs of Storm.
    A cat scraping wood.
    When a star is near the moon.
    The sky red in the West.
    Signs of Snow.
    The cat turns his back to the fire.
    When black-birds come chirping around.
    Every breeze gets milder when the snow is coming. The wind from the North.
    Signs of Frost.
    The black-birds on the ground.
    A starry night.
    Every-thing gets dry
    Beams out of the sun.
    Signs of fine Weather.
    The sky is very clear.
