A well-written contest entry. Your words flowed well line to line combining and forming the message of the poem for the reader. Your artwork and background color completed the piece well.

Love the description of rain tapping in "soft drum beats." I do enjoy the sound of a gentle rain. The fact that it's on Sunday makes me think of a day when you had time to listen to it. Very nice.

The is a fine haiku in the 3-5-3 form
with excellent concrete imagery and grammatical connection
written in the present tense
Perfect reflective satori line
and a fine photograph to match
Very well done
Good luck in the contest

This is what I call a "snapshot" poem because it captures a moment in time.
I really like the focus on AUDIO imagery. We hear the rain drops on that shingle roof because of the monosyllabic words you strung together in the last line. Very nice!
