April weather
Language: English 
There's a raindrop dance till the sky turns blue
And the sun plays hide-and-seek with you.

The wind speaks ever and ever so loud,
Puddles are mirrors for tree and cloud.

Colored marbles appear once more
And children go skipping from door to door.

I see that nobody's hair is neat,
As I chase my hat along the street.
