Good poem! :D

My favorite stanzas:
Cold rain runs down the streets,
How long will this go on?
It's hard for me to see,
Shoes filled with freezing water
Why's this hap'ning to me?

Cold rain runs down the streets
It's just a few more blocks
These shoes I'll have to toss
But my building's in sight
Soon, I'll hit the sauce (this is my favorite line, btw) :P

Take care.

This is really good. It certainly evokes imagery as well as memories haved originally lived up north LOL. I wish you all the luck in the contest . Now, however, it's time for air on.

Good morning, Patty

Great flow and images. One can easily connect with an individual who must deal with a cold, driving rain. Enjoyed.

Take care and stay safe,

Ray

Exceptional

I had never heard of this form, but it's most attractive. I like the repetition of the first line and the rhyme.
I also like your mixture of resignation and humor when you speak of winter.
Thanks for sharing your poem and for reminding me to write mine (I had totally forgotten).

I can identify with this poem as I have seen a lot of rain and felt the cold drops touch my skin, but over the years I have come to love the rain as it does the garden so much good and it is essential for life, your poem is poignant, real and I could feel the raindrops touch my skin throughout your words, love Dolly x

I like this one, I've just written a trimeter work, this would suit very well indeed. This is a marvellous piece of artwork to write an ekphrasticaly inclined work, for this "picture this" prompt, well done, Patty, excellent work, you are clever. Well done. Blessings, Roy

I enjoyed reading your Monchielle poem "Rainy Monchielle." You followed all the rules for this genre. You chose an appropriate photo.
All the best.

A very well-written Monchielle poem for the picture this challenge and an excellent presentation. Your repeating line is strong and works well in this poem.

But my buildings(building's) in sight

I like the repetition of the theme line "Cold rain runs down the streets" It works well in the context of the poem. A Monchielle? don't think I have ever heard of this poetic form nonetheless it is very effective with this write.

Hi dip; thank you so much for the lovely review. I had fun with this one. The Monchielle is a fun poetic form to work with - maybe you should try one - the notes and requirements can be found in my poem and on shadowpoetry.com.

Good choice with picture. Oil painting. Maybe. this type would make good lyrics. favorite quatrain: Cold rain runs down the streets
I need my umbrella
Water on ev'ry lash
I just want to get home
Cars rush by with a splash.
creative and a beauty.
BOO!
