Very cool photo to go with this poem, Tom. I'm listening to it pour outside right now! How fitting I came upon your poem.

"Teardrops from cloud banks." Great line! Well done.

You got me singing... 'Raindrops keep falling on my head'.

Mother Nature can be marvelous. It's all perspective of the situation. I like sunshowers and hail. Great visual imagery presented. Creative. Nice work.

I liked your springy meter, but I tripped on the emphasis of 'de-LAYS' (the way I emphasise the syllables) which doesn't scan to me.

Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed the read and the clever text ending to reflect the raindrops falling.

Cheers, Ray.

Very interesting. I like the light almost melody-like style you used and the ending that imitates the rainfall itself was a great idea.

Wow!
The poem looks so simple to write but there are a lot of insight to it.
Were you teaching or speaking?
...I think both...Smiling...

Another structural performance, Treischel. Even the solitude of rain is not enough to hinder the movement of your quill.
I loved the reverse with''raindrops'' and 'rain drops.'

Good write.
Best wishes,
Rg

Hi, Treischel,
"Raindrops" is a good poem with good meter and rhyme and rhyme scheme. It has good figurative language and imagery. Unfortunately it reads like the windows fell from the sky.

    Thanks Preston. It can also be sung to the tune: These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things. Reference Julie Andrews in Sound of Music.

We could use a "cloud burst," but there is none on the horizon until October! I admired your rhythm and rhymes in the first stanzas along with the dwindling format, plus the photo that reinforces the scene. Hope you have a dry weekend- Joan

Raindrop keep falling in drops and splattered on the window panes, reminding us about the tears and the pain, but there is something to gain - a cooler day and a more relaxing day staying indoors, smiles.
Great write and well expressed a cloudy day with rain.
Cheerio, best, Ritchie. :))

    Sometimes it is good to get into the rain and feel refreshed from all of life's weights over our shoulders. It makes us young, and refresh again. Big smiles.
    Cheerio, best, Ritchie. :))
