SESTINA

The dew on the grass like drops
In the bright blue sky
The sun illuminates it's light;
Birds sleep in every tree,
While children rustle in bed.
A normal spring day.

Unexpected events of the day
And unknown things mother drops
With children never making bed.
Bird arrows in the sky;
Neighbor friends climb the tree.
Mother turns on kitchen light.

Eggs and pancakes fluffy and light.
A time of relaxation all day.
Wind blows in the house, in the tree
And kids wrestle without tear drops.
Clouds come in from all sides of sky
And house pets lay in master's bed.

Sister receives lunch in bed
With windows drawn blocking light.
She rarely feels the air and sky
And sleeps almost every day,
Lays and watches medicine drops.
A squirrel hops to her window from tree.

No more entertainment found in tree;
Mother sits next to small bed
Listening to outside water drops
Reading fairy tale under light,
As slowly, fading, average day
Disappears to a grey, evil sky.

Black storm torments dark sky.
The crack of fallen tree.
Not an average spring day.
Shaking sister in her bed
With the flicker of light,
And the flowing of teardrops.

An average day with a blue sky;
The water drops nourish each tree
Children in bed, windows block out light.
