Intermediate 2, Assignment 1. In case my regular followers were wondering, it's a poem for the Scratch Writing College, the assignment was to write a 100-2000 word story or a 3+ stanza poem called After The Rain. (brilliant name, by the way.) And here it is for @puzbie: Drip. Drip. Drip. Splat, patter patter patter, splat. Drip. Drip. Drip. Splat, drip, patter patter, drip, patter, splat. Drip. SPLASH puddles go. Stomp. Jump. Yellow bright. Young smiles. Happy laughter. SPLASH puddles go. Lively dandelion raincoat and boots. Girl in the calm after a storm. Only this, only this In the universe. Loud Then quiet. Drip. Patter patter, splat, patter. Drip. The calm after a storm.
