Children love to play in puddles. They are not worried that their dress get dirtied.....! Cleaning them up will be their mothers' headache! It is a place where they play with paper boats. You have brought nostalgic memories to my mind!

It surely is, dear Mrs. Juan-Austin, especially when his mother does not pay attention. A well known scene after a long heavy storm you so well portrayed. Ah, a boy's great playground. A brilliant summing up and so true. A 10 ++++++++++ and much much more. Thank you so much for sharing.

Yes, a scene I see in my neighbourhood, monsoon being on. Also a lovely metaphor on 'storm',

Not only an aftermaths of a long heavy storm, a metaphor of emotional storms and its after effects. A poem is sometimes a mud puddle that is left behind after heavy emotional storms. A great three liner with a lot of meanings.
