a poem in my pocket

do you hear rush of rain?

set pump in drain!

sound pounding on roof?

gutters overflow proof!

what follows a flood?

splash puddles and mud!

_______

moisture soaks flower’s bud

crops drink shower’s dew

(there’s new lake in view!)

pump drain, gutters flow into puddles and mud

______________
