This diminished hexaverse poem, Raining, has the proper syllable and line formatting and perceives the rain as a cold and drowning menace that has come to wash away our current joy.

An unusual form as your words drip down from grey black clouds and raindrops fall as the seasons change and summer fades and rain begins, love Dolly x

You paint a very effective visual picture of the post-summer months, from the trees losing their leaves, to the gray skies and chilly weather. The one major problem is that the first line of your three-syllables-per-line stanza actually has four syllables: "Heavens open."

You can fix this easily in either of two ways:
- Change "Heavens" to "Skies."
- Drop the last letter of the two-syllable "open," leaving the poetic, monosyllabic "ope."

Good luck in the contest.
