“The Sunset Hits The Flower”

At the end of the road, there were 3 red and yellow poles. After the poles, there was a slight grassy incline that led to a swamp. During the dry season, a part of the swamp dries up and we played on it. There were plants, guppies, little conch, tadpoles, etc., in the swamp. If you stand on the road and look straight ahead, all you could see were the green plants, a road in the distance then the horizon. The plants started blooming purple lilies that had a tinge of yellow. At a certain time of the year, you could see hundreds of black birds nesting in the swamp. It was a nice scenic view then an extra ordinary event took place in the middle of the swamp. A large taller green plant sprung up. Weeks later, it blooms a bright red flower… The sunset hits the flower and the gentle breeze blowing it… Aflame!
