Lesson 5 - A Rewrite

Green sunglasses~

Through those lenses, I saw a lot of stuff

I can't possibly remember all of it

but on the bright side (heh), my eyes were protected.

Through those lenses, many times I saw a happy family

they're doing something fun, like a camping trip or going to the summer pool

that's my family!

Through those lenses, I saw Puerto Rico

that was a cool trip!

(my family also appeared happy there.)

Through those lenses, I saw clouds

why wear sunglasses on a cloudy day?

perhaps because a shade darker is how the world really is

...or perhaps it just felt like a sunglasses kind of day.

Through those lenses, I saw red

no, not the violent kind of red,

but instead the red sunglasses my friend wore

to complement my green ones.

Through those lenses, I couldn't really see

my vision was like rain on a windshield;

I wore the sunglasses to hide the rain

Through those lenses, I saw my childhood

lots of fond memories there,

including when I refused to get new sunglasses.
