[My Patio]

Ruby S.

My patio is a place I stay A place I talk a place I walk a place I sleep and a place I weep Images of people dancing A girl in an ivory white dress She goes to sit in our very old chairs But back then the cushions were not green The cushions were a chestnut color. Nowadays there still is dirt coating the chairs A cat would sit and sleep on those chairs but now a new cat has taken its place

My patio is a place me and my mom can talk in peace A place we worked hard on so people can come over and admire our patio We placed the bricks We placed the cover And well I did not buy the chairs but I did help put them in there place

My patio is a place I can close my eyes and listen Listen to my dogs play and growl Listen to my cat hide away in a bush Listen to the birds singing, talking, and arguing

My patio is ancient but I love it nonetheless I can hear the chair cry when my sister flips it over and play on it I can hear the wood weep due to the holes in the cover I can hear the memories the patio holds I can hear me and my siblings wow over the new patio at the time
