Poetry Analysis Deep Dive
Poem: “After the Rain”
The street keeps yesterday’s rain in a thousand silver eyes. A bus sighs at the corner; its windows carry pieces of sky. Under the pōhutukawa, a tūī shakes the last drops free. The morning opens one bright hand. I step out, and the day steps back to me.
