A little thing,
a simple gift,
Flowing seamlessly in a lift,
Giving life to its cool, concerned touch
Raising a calm,
excited, but rapid bunch
Through the bushes and into the flood,
Flowing in to the hearts of the ones
Over each shade and tint--becoming one value.
Weightless like air it flies,
Sprinkling the ground with joy,
As it brings out the younger girls and boys,
To play as if it were the very last day,
Of the first summer vacation,
And not a rainy day.

imagery, this is one of the assignments given in one of my english writing classes.
we had to use imagery, any form, any style, im the only one that used poetry.
so what image does it paint for you? my professor thought a fountain...
but i was referring to children running through sprinklers.
