Raining in Summer Poetry Contest

Sponsored by: Ink Empress 

The smoldering sun shines incessantly
Until the earth’s humidity hastens 
The forming of cinereal clouds calmly covers 
The spacious skies above and suddenly
Gentle rain soft but steady
Begins to fall, splattering and wetting the soil.
The pitter-patter pronounces a petrifying tune
Upon the roofs, amorous rondel tunes.

Oh, how I love the fresh feeling of the rain.
I feel like singing in the heavenly showers
I get dishevelled and drenched.
Yet I will sing a symphony of love,
For I am happy even more.
Love is in the air.
Thank God, no lightning spoils the sky.
Yet it rains even more.  
The grass is even greener now.    
It sparkles with dewy drops,
And sheds its pleasant petrichor,
A harmonious and happy fragrance
In our vast verdurous vale.      
Meantime my Mary joined us in the melee`,
We dance a Dougie under the deluge,
Until tired we went in for a warm shower…….

Placed 2nd

Dear Victor, such a beautifully written and atmospheric write. Wonderful use of alliteration to express so much. ‘ Yet I will sing a symphony of love’ ‘ It sparkles with dewy drops’. Your lovely imagery draws the reader in where you can hear the fall of the rain and sense its freshness. The love of the rain is so poetically expressed here with the joy and gratitude of love in one’s heart. I loved it. Good luck in the contest dear friend. I think Inky will love this skillfully composed piece.

Good luck with the contest. Rain is always an interesting subject. Rain is enjoyed a lot when it's wanted, and despised when it isn't.

Victor, your poem displays a high level of poetic brilliance through the use of excellent metaphors and imagery. Your ability to vividly paint a picture with words is a true testament to the beauty of poetry. The subtle use of alliteration adds an elegant touch to your work. Wishing you the best of luck in the contest.

I like how your poem intertwines the natural imagery of rain with themes of love and community. The happiness is amplified by the presence of Mary, and their shared dance in the rain underscores the idea that joy is magnified when experienced together. The "symphony of love" and "harmonious and happy fragrance" highlight the deep connection between natural beauty and emotional fulfillment.

The coming of summer rain is a delightful experience. When sun smolders and the earth lies thirsty, rain comes as a boon ! It is so pleasant to dance with the rhythmic 'pitter patter' of the rain. To get drenched in pouring rain is all the more exciting !Lovely poem, dear Victor.

"I get dishevelled and drenched" -- In Phoenix most everyone goes out and does a rain-dance, loving the wet. "A harmonious and happy fragrance In our vast verdurous vale." Totally refreshing read, Victor! Thank you.

We have lovely summer weather, Victor (which is rare where I live)...I enjoy every day in my garden or out on the sea in our boat - Summer is too short to sit inside and write poems - The last few years we've had bad summers... I don't want to lose a single one now :) - hugs

It's sometimes a respite from the heat and is welcome, everywhere feels fresher after a good downpour. Tom
