And now at last <br />the rain has passed. <br />See the flowers <br />freshened by showers <br />their petals bright <br />reflecting light <br />In garden beds <br />they raise their heads <br />and by the breeze <br />are gently teased <br />to fling off drops <br />Like little mops <br />in circles twirled <br />before they’re furled <br />and put away <br />for another day.<br /><br />Pete Crowther<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/after-rain/
