Solution
If I were to draw a landscape on the basis of this poem, I would show elements like a patch of lush green grass stretching far and wide, small flowers growing all over the plain tossing their heads, brightly coloured butterflies happily fluttering, a rainbow stretching across the sky. I would also show a tree-lined road, and under the blue sky, I would show boys and girls walking down the road enjoying themselves in the rain. I would use all sorts of colours. Green being prominent, I would also use shades of bright colours to depict life, liveliness and joy in nature during spring.
