Nicely done poem. I liked the visual, it goes well with the words. I thought the drops from the rain well illustrated the idea that the fish in the pond were probably chasing the drops below the surface. Won't they be disappointed?! Good luck with the contest!

Some lovely alliteration and great description in your 12/5 poem! The circles in the picture can be both the raindrops and the fish coming up to feed. Best wishes in the contest!

Another contest with confusing and contradictory instructions! Is it 12/5 or as later stated 12/7? And no one started a thread to find out! You went for 12/5 with three part alliteration appropriate to your chosen subject.

    Still says 12/5 on the instructions I have. I posted this two weeks ago.

    I think that was what was intended. The 12/7 comes further down in the blurb.

I like this poem with all its alliteration used in perfectly describing the acts of the rain on the lake and its inhabitants.
Good luck in the contest.

I like this short poem a lot. Two lines are good enough. It has the energy and deep of a haiku poem. There is a pond near my house, in winter times is quite a spectacle. It looks sad and alone, that little pond. Best luck in the contest.

Very nicely written, author. Your artwork choice leads us into the rain that is also falling while the fish feed.

Bright imagery using succinct word choices to form a sentence without overuse of articles.

A fine job and I wish you much luck in the voting booth.

Short and sweet - but paints a vivid picture of hungry fish beneath the pond. This is a perfect entry for the contest. The chosen artwork enhances the pitter patter of raindrops peppering the pond, Nice job.
