Hi Janet. It sure seems like a long time since yo have posted, my friend. This is a wonderful look at the weather and the day. remember that song by the Mammas and Pappas, called "Rainy Days and Mondays?" LOL

I liked these lines in particular in this very well written poem:

"A day to stay in bed and sleep
or sip a second cup of joe.
But there are promises to keep
that rain and clouds will never know."

Isn't that the truth, Janet? LOL Bob

Well written and you do a great job creating images and sounds with your writing. The alliterative punch that you scatter throughout is nice, it adds to the cadence and flow of your poem. I live in Oregon and have grown to love the rain, especially the sound in the morning. Good job on getting back in the game, I look forward to more of your writing.

    Thank you for this encouraging review. I appreciate your kind comments. Here in NC it usually isn't raining a lot but in 2020, I think we broke the record.

Ha ha! I had no idea this well written piece would have humor in the end. --An amusing and charming poem with strong nouns such as...refrain and slate.

Hello Janet, this is very good - weather-wise, the same here. Rain, rain and more rain. Good rhyme in abab and rhythm in this poem and a nice touch of humour - that got you out of bed. LOL! Like you, I have not posted in a while - can't seem to wind myself up. I blame the pandemic. Keep writing - warm wishes - take care an stay safe. Dorothy x

A kind of carefree poem. Rain means sleep in, read a good book, just kind of chill out. Very enjoyable rhythm and rhyme, Great job! God bless!

Beautiful poem. "But there are promises to keep that rain and clouds will never know." I love this line. Rainy days are so nice once in a while! Thanks so much for sharing.

I really enjoyed your poem. The picture of the raindrops on the leaves is perfect. Great rhyming and rhythm. I especially like that third verse, reminding us that even if it is raining, there are things to do.

Hello, my friend,

Nice consenance and alliteration...

"blows goose grey clouds"

"Dull dreary day"

Nice imagery...

"the sun peeks through the clouds."

Funny ending :)

I love to sleep in.

Your wording is so descriptive that it gives a very clear picture of what the day and the rain look like. "goose grey clouds," "dull dreary day," "a day to stay in bed." I enjoyed the easy flow of your rhyming pattern throughout, and the unexpected humorous ending. Well done.
