After the Rain

After the rain, there are puddles;

After the rain, there are worms.

There might be some salamanders

Venturing out on the berms.

After the rain, some see rainbows;

After the rain, some see slugs.

There might be dripping umbrellas

Soaking your floors or your rugs.

After the rain, plants are happy;

After the rain might come sun.

Then there’s a time we’ll be waiting

Until the next cycle’s begun.
