Poem Passage
In a sunny park, the daisies dance and sway,
A breeze is as gentle as a whisper all day.
The squirrels zip by with sparkly, quick feet,
And the pond holds reflections of tiles and street.
Alliterative lines shine, like soft, singing seas,
Bright butterflies flutter, brushing the breeze with ease.
The big red ball bounces, bouncing bold and high,
Under the unapologetic, open blue sky.
