The Noisy Morning

I wake up to the tick-tock of my clock upon the wall,
Then hear the pitter-patter of the raindrops as they fall.
The kettle on the stove lets out a loud and whistling hiss,
And then my dad's old car goes vroom – I really must not miss!

I pour my cereal in a bowl, it goes crunch, crunch, crunch,
My little sister’s drinking juice and gives a happy slurp for lunch.
The rain has stopped, the sun is out, the birds all chirp and sing,
It’s time to go outside and play, the joy that morning brings!

The Storm Outside

Last night, a big storm rolled into town. I was in my room when I first heard the pitter-patter of rain tapping on my window. Then, the wind started to blow, and the trees went whoosh as they swayed back and forth.

Suddenly, a bright flash of lightning lit up the sky. A few seconds later, I heard a loud BOOM of thunder that shook the whole house! My little dog, Max, got scared and let out a worried whimper.

To calm down, I went to the kitchen to make some hot chocolate. As I poured the milk into my cup, it made a soft splish-splash sound. I took a sip and heard the rain still going drip-drop on the roof. It was loud, but it actually helped me feel sleepy. I yawned and went back to bed, listening to the storm slowly fade away.
