I love the rain as well and this summer we are already in a real drought here in the western US. Your picture is wonderful and your writing goes perfectly with it.

    Thank you for reading my poem. I've never liked being in the sun, my mom called me her little half vampire. Thanks for this wonderful review. :)

I just love a good rainstorm and I can tell you do as well! There is just something about rainstorms that relax me! I love the way your poem flowed. Exceptional in my opinion. 6 stars!

You did a good job with your monorhyme contest entry. I really like the animated image. You told a good little story, too. I hope the CEC will allow the added 's' on your ending rhymes in places. However, I would either use the 'ay' sound or the 'ays' sound but not both. This is just my opinion as I'm not the judge. Best wshes.

Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

I woke up to an exciting day,
dark clouds were forming across the bay.
I knew a storm was on its way,
and soon outside I'd go and play.

I love the rain, I hope it stays, [I love the rain, please, let it stay]
a lovely break from sun's hot rays. [a break from hot ray after ray ]
It's been too long, so many days, [it's been too long, day upon day ]
underneath the sun's bright blaze. [as I bake to a hardened clay ]

I prayed for rain, or just a haze, [I pray for rain to come my way ]
as I sat baking on a chaise. [[as I swelter, to hot to play ]
Hot weather leaves me in a daze, [hot weather fills me with dismay]
as I used many sun screen sprays. [ I need a giant cooling spray ]

Don't understand this tanning craze, [Don't like to hear what some will say ]
I think maybe it's just a faze. [the weather's fine--rain stay away ]
Sunburns hurt and your skin flays, [ just don't get caught up in their fray ]
putting you in a malaise. [I hope the sky soon turns to gray ]

But the clouds across the bay,
will bring relief in cooling ways. [will soon unleash without delay ]
As rain drops through the land will splay,
as lighting puts on its display.

Thunder above will make us sway,
as we dance the heat away.
I woke up to an exciting day,
dark clouds were forming across they bay.

Walking through a sun shower is one of my favorite things to do. I have never minded thunder and have always liked the sound of falling rain. I enjoyed reading this very much.

On second read I discovered this:

with lighting on display. -- lightning?

You've done a great job with this ver difficult contest. I enjoyed every line. You were able to stick to the subject matter and make sense.

just a faze. ==> phase (sneaky homonym)
