Spring Rains
April Showers
Bring
May Flowers
and mud!
Lots n lots
of showers
Flood Rivers
Invent new lakes,
Erase our drought.
I don't mind
If I stay inside,
But today I'll walk
or almost swim
Hopping puddles
like a frog.
Won't be long
'Til we see
Some Polliwogs,
'Cause just yesterday
I heard
the first
April Peepers!
Yay!

I used this crop for the altered images.

Better than piles of snow, I'll bet! I like your poem, Snaggle.
When is too much rain enough rain? Our farmers are needing a lot right now but too much could cause damage. If only we could regulate the faucet.
Good eye. I would not have thought those textures would work!!
Lynn, way better than snow this time of year. Some folks I saw online in Maine n Vermont reported snow from the same system! There are still large puddles in spots, though dry air now. Thanks.
Gran Annie, lots of waterlogged areas here, but the bogs like it, n the frogs should be plentiful. Too bad we can't ship it out there when you need it. !'m surprised there isin't better weather control at this tech stage! Here the crops would've drowned- they aren't planted yet. Maybe will indoor plant seeds later this week.
Tabor, thanks. I did have to use different coloring methods to get the greys to differentiate better, but only got red n greens.
The rain drops are like color splatters reflecting rainbows of sun.
Colleen, that's a nice comparison I had not thought of yet!
When I see the oscillating, overlapping, ripple patterns I always think of Physics lab in high school when we made similar waves in a tub of water, using blocks of wood with little motors on them. I think of waves n how they act. But always they are pretty n amazing! Thanks!
