Reflection of puddles

All those heavy rains have turned nature upon its head.
Some of the treetops can be seen pointing down instead.
Within the reflection of puddles, the world has changed,
The normalities of nature have been rearranged.

An upside-down world can now be seen upon the ground.
Upside-down people on their heads, strolling around.
Ripples from a breeze shaking those reflections about,
But once the breeze passes by, those ripples straighten out.

Reflections within puddles, the sky’s now far below,
Dazzling so brightly when the sun comes back on show.
The suns light bounces, shooting back up into a tree,
Branches usually in the shade, sunlight they now see.

Hills climb the other way, sloping left instead of right,
Upon reaching the puddles edge, vanishing from sight.
The drying of the puddle shrinks this upside-down scene.
The grass restored to where the upside-down world had been.
