A Nature Poem by a Bastion Student and a Heads Up to National Poetry Month in April

                  “COLOURS OF THE MEADOWS”                                     

                                                                     

Rainbows bloom throughout the meadows;

each petal has its say.

Some will fall and some will stay,

but the smartest one will flow

with the wind.
