Rain

Rivulets of water
run down my windows. I
rush outside so I can
rescue my washing. Its
ruined! I’m extremely
riled as they had forecast
rays of bright warm sunshine

6 syllables per line – how many syllables

Dear Jan, your clever pen flows with "riled" yet sweet ink in this creative piece. I adore the emotion that rides your imagery so smoothly. I love the video clip of Eruption covering "I Can't Stand The Rain" .. and I remember and loved the original recording of the song by Ann Peebles in 1973.. wow! so long ago, it seems unreal! Congratulations for your wonderful win. Warmest wishes and hugs.. ~Susan
