Good luck in the contest.

LOL! Oh, what a wonderful warm (okay, I get the wet!) little story for the insanity of today... Yes! We regular folks out here really do look forward to regular encounters where silly things come to mean a lot!! ;) ;) Wonderful little 'story in a poem' that 'sings' us through a great first meeting in two young lives... well done! ;) Thanx for sharing and best of luck! :) Yvette

Don, what a good man you are, holding her close to keep her out of the rain. Chivalry and gallantry at its finest.
I actually enjoyed your poem; it flowed almost as well as the rain.

This is a great entry, it feels like I'm sitting in the kitchen with a friend retelling her guilty secrets and has a warmth to it that makes it endearing. Sure, it's a love story but it's not overly soppy (pardon the pun). Great work and good luck in the contest

A very nice love story. The rhymes are very good. The picture is a good choice for your poem. I enjoyed reading it. I particularly like : we then kissed urgently. Great job.

You have time to fix it. The rhyming pattern is AABB. First and second lines rhyme, third and fourth rhyme, etc.
You must follow contest rules. Have a good week. Karen

    Thank you for the generous review, If you read down far enough in the "Rules" you will see that it is not necessery to follow that rhyming pattern.

    The rhyme pattern is not necessary, acording to the rules. If you read far enough, it is just a suggestion.

Your piece illustrates the power of love to transcend our physical presence in this world. We ignore rain, thunder, wind and cold when we are in the depths of that kiss or that embrace. I liked the down to Earth, conversational tone of the language. estory

This work has reached the exceptional level

It was a little hard for me to follow. That would not be your fault, I rarely get poetry. It's well-written, and I love the image of lovers in the rain. You covered a few bases I have been trying to run here, but can't translate well. Reading the good writers, I hope will help me get where I want to go. Thanks.

I liked the picture and the poem. I'm not a poet, but as I read and reread, there was only one point where the flow faltered for me. It's the line, "I dare say. Mmmmmmm!"!!!! Said he. Every time I read it, that line interrupted the tempo and took me out of the story. It is my only suggestion. gayla
