Poetry:

Any Ordinary Day (in my California)

Any ordinary day in winter;
Snow falls, sun shines, snow melts.

Any ordinary day in spring;
Rain falls, sun shines, flowers bloom.

Any ordinary day in summer;
Sunshines, sun shines, tan lines.

Any ordinary day in autumn;
Cold snap, sun shines, leaves change color.
