CYCLONE MARCIA
RAIN RAIN GO AWAY

Circle the wagons and batten the hatches
You're in for one Hell of a ride
Collect all the candles, the lanterns, the matches
Looks like there's nowhere to hide
Outside the world wages war at our windows
Neighbours all gather in fear
Ever so stronger the cyclonic wind blows
Mothers hold their children near
Away with you, storm clouds, you're not welcome here
Rain rain, go away
Come again another day
Is what I hear the children say
And with that a rainbow appears.

Great work. I really enjoyed your piece. It's captures some great images!

Oh well done Allan - challenge met and conquered - excellent

I must say, Maureen, I look forward to the challenges

Allan

I think you got a little bored at the end ? Allan

I does look a bit like that. When I got to the R the first obvious word was rain, and it just took off from there.

Allan

Good one Allan. I love "world wages war at our windows" - beautiful alliteration!!

Cheers, Shelley

That's a corker Allan.

I agree - Great job Allan!
