Feathers
Walking through the school one day, a feather I can see. Flying through the sky looking for me. Right, left, right, left flying through the sky landing on a rock for me to say hi. The wind blew wild and the feather sat still and then next minute another feather landed on the rock. If you look closely the feathers were rainbow on their side. The wind blew wild and the feathers sat still like it was the perfect place to chill. A few minutes later the wind blew wilder and the feathers said bye bye. Off they flew to find another perfect place to chill.
