    • By Coral Rumble
    • Published by Family Friend Poems May 19, 2022 with permission of the Author.

    When I’m caught out and angry, and tears start to flow,
    I pack up my rucksack and quickly I go
    To the huge, towering oak tree, in the field by the woods,
    Where nobody says that I shouldn’t or should.

  15. 13. At What Time Does Night Arrive?

    Have you ever seen the exact moment when Night
    Descends from above, and spreads darkness everywhere?
    Night comes so quietly, and chases Day away so thoroughly,
    That it doesn’t leave even a speck of light behind in the air!

    Snow is falling, as quiet as a mouse;
    On people and on dogs, and on our house.
    A fluffy blanket now covers the street -
    The cars are white, and that is neat.

  18. 16. Blown With The Wind

    I imagined, though ever so brief, that I was a leaf;
    And the wind blew me off my tree.

  19. 17. The Wind

    The Wind is such a strange and amazing being –
    It has no legs, yet it travels far and wide.
    It soars up to the clouds, climbs mountain peaks,
    Swirls across sandy deserts and sweeps over the sea side.
