Hi Rod. This is a charming poem of love in the rain. Holding the umbrella together is a romantic gesture. Rain has the power to draw people cozily closer. Congratulations for winning first with this fine entry. Marilyn

This is a memoir, an experience expressed of love and romantic fun and moment of dreamy lovers in a rainy and untoward weather; I liked the feeling shared.

That was lovely, and sad, and a worthy winner. Congratulations. I liked the rhyme scheme, I can only describe it as 'broken' just like the weather and the emotion behind the words. I don't have a six left but it is deserving of one. Well done, it was a pleasure to read. :) Sandra xx

I like this very much. Congrats on winning the contest. There is something special about a rainy day with the one we love. Watching the lightning and hearing the thunder can be romantic for sure,, Patricia

Congratulations to the winner of the contest! I think you deserve to be the first in the competition Romance vs Bad Weather. Your poem is well-penned, I like it. Also the artwork you have chosen complements your words perfectly well.
I think I can only say "I betI think of you again whene'er it rains."
Blessings,
Ruth

A very well-written romance vs bad weather poem. The most romantic moments we can not forget easily. A walk in bad weather close to each other is a moment that both can cherish for a lifetime.

Congratulations on winning the contest.

Wistful, but beautiful poem about a long-ago romance that comes to life whenever it rains. Can easily see why it's a winner (I did vote for you). Sentiments eloquently expressed in a way that draws the reader in. Well done.

what a lovely remembrance - beautifully and lyrically written.
A treat to read of fond memories, though the piece is sad.
I bet she loved the poetry you wrote to her when she was alive. At least I hope you did, with your talent.
very nice!

Well, I can see why you were the contest winner! Your poem reminds me of a post-impression painting I have in my own home. It flows nicely, and has some really good images. A wonderful read. Congratulations!
