Painting a Picture
Location
The world is a canvas
And nature is the painting
All the colors flow together
To create a beautiful picture
The location determines the temperature
While the seasons pick the colors
Not every day will look the same
For once it is over, the paint washes away
The start of a new day means a blank page
Nature must paint its picture again
But she must find the colors depicted by the season
Or can she pick the season from the colors she has taken
The purples and greens represent spring
When the flowers open up revealing their colors
Like a gator opens up to reveal his teeth
Or a human opens a present to reveal the surprise
The yellows and the oranges represent summer
When the temperatures rise high
Like the sun rises into the sky
Or like a bird rises into the horizon
The reds and the browns represent fall
When the trees shed its leaves
Like a snake sheds its skin
Or like a dog sheds its hair
The blues and the whites represent winter
When snow starts to fall
Like a giraffe falls taking his first steps
Or like a penguin falls trying to waddle around
Once the colors are chosen
The seasons start to occur
And Mother Nature continues on
Painting her picture she chooses to do
