You did a great job with your contest entry, Boogienights. I enjoyed reading it. Your choice of the animated image is perfect for your well thought out poem. Your lines flow smoothly, the rhymes work, and the imagery is vivid. I like the way you formatted your lines and have the word quiet on a line by itself.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

This poem, Heavy Rain, ends with quiet and fills the rest of the stanzas with the fear and noise of the storm raging through the neighborhood. Intense.

The rainy days are best for washing negative thoughts and help you to stay positive forever. After the rain, you see all your place is clean and that place smells good you start feeling the fresh air. I enjoyed your well-written poetry with rhyming words that flow smoothly. Good luck!

A descriptive and well structured poem that responds to the writing prompt that requires that the piem's final word be quiet. The presentation of the piece and its tone are enhanced by the video style picture of the wind blown trees in the story weather. Nice job.

"Torrential rains come down to batter, all that's in its path" I wonder if this should read "torrential rain ...all that's in its path..." or, "torrential rains...all that's in their path"? I enjoyed this poem and admire your excellent posts. Thank you so much

That's a great way to describe the quiet - by contrasting with one of the noisiest sounds we have - a thunderstorm. I loved the line " The kind of rain that Noah knew, when God unleashed his wrath. " Great work on ending with the word "quiet" all by itself at the end to give it more focus.
Best wishes in the contest!

It sounds as if this storm was a tornado! Ripping down everything in its sight. The eerie quiet after a storm like that is deafening. Now, time to rejoice and rebuild. Great job on the poem.

    Severe thunderstorms can also cause a lot of damage. I've never seen a tornado, but have seen downed trees from lightning. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing my poem. :)
