A Blood Red Shroud
The thunder comes before the lightning,
And the lightning comes before the cloud,
The rain dries all the land it touches,
Wrapping the earth in a blood red shroud.
What am I?
A volcano.
Mountain Covered With Snow

I Always Tell the Truth
You see me quite often,
But don’t really care.

But don’t think me uncouth,
Because no matter what,
I always tell the truth.
What am I?
A mirror.
