I love a good rainstorm. I built a house for a customer who asked for a gazebo with a metal roof so he could sit under it during a storm and listen to the rain. Your poem reminded me of it.

    I wish I had a metal roof. I'm having a patio roof put on that's metal. The one I had before, it was deafening sitting under it when it rained. I'm hoping to have that again. Thank you for reviewing.

I like the feel of this work, safe and cozy inside while a serious storm rants outside. I imagine the lights are out, too. I like that you will experiment with different forms. you have done very well here, Damommy.................meeshu

I am pleased you were inspired by the Club's prompt, and I enjoyed your rhymes, rhythm and repeats in this Kyrielle. You use of personification adds to the intensity of the storm. Nevertheless, I am still looking forward to enjoying autumn! -Joan

    I think this storm may have pushed it closer here. I hope so. I'm ready for autumn and winter. Thanks for reviewing. I appreciate your great comments.

Excellent writing, Yvonne. You definitely set a mood with text like this: And your use of strong verbs are at play all the way through.

" The tempest rages out its wrath.
Torrential downpours from the hills
are carving patterns in the path
as raindrops splash my windowsills."

Brilliant. Bless you, Bob

A very pretty little piece, DaMommy. The imagery is very strong and paints an easy picture to see, while the photo is just right for its purpose even down to the weather vane. Nice work.

Lovely kyrielle, Yvonne! I think it was you who introduced me to this form and I love how you used it to describe this heavy rainstorm! The repeated line gives us the sense of the continual splashing on the windowsills.
