In the middle of this downpour
a whole bus load of
small children appear
wearing a rainbow
of bright coats and
rubber boots.
Girls carry Hello Kitty umbrellas
boys jump high in the air
and come splashing down
on every puddle they meet
all one can hear
is laughter.
Open the sky, let it rain
they will find imagination
in the shimmering streets
a rivulet of storm water
draining away becomes
the mighty Amazon.
Wet and windy days
foretell the end of summer
but for these explorers
it is something new
and wondrous
to discover.
