Happy Rain GIF By Philippa Rice

​SPRING CITY 
Word count: 62

Spring arrives
Sidewalks bloom
Flower stalls curb 
The winter gloom 

Pigeons flutter
In hidden nooks
Warming eggs
​With skyward looks

Raindrops patter
Children greet
The fresh-washed scent 
Of wet concrete

Storm clouds gather
Umbrellas grow
Shielding shoulders 
hunched below

Oil slicks swirl
Curb-waters climb
Soggy shoes get 
A rainbow shine

Grey clouds thin
Puddles glimmer
Warm smiles blossom
As sunlight shimmers
