The Clouds Roll Over Toledo
  The clouds roll over Toledo
  Riding the evening sky as if it were a black stallion
  The moon illuminates those clouds
  And the moon hides his beaming round face behind them
  The wind slides through the treetops
  In its wake, a few branches disturbed from their resting place
  The warmth of this gentle breeze glides over the river of Toledo
  It aerials under the gothic arches
  It rushes past the old lover’s trail
  It travels to tickle the faces of youthful children, playing by the riverbank
  I can hear their giggles from here
  And as I turn to leave, I swear I can feel the wind tickle my back
  As the clouds roll over Toledo

This piece is inspired by the poster I sit next to in English class everyday. The poster is from the Metropolitan Museum of art and portrays the painting, The View of Toledo.
