I've never done a sonnet. I'm sure it's harder than it looks, especially when you have to use words that don't really work together. You paint a lovely picture of the summer rain. Good luck in the contest.

I love the silky smooth delivery of this along with the excellent rhyme and flow. I enjoyed reading this well written work. Well done!

I like how you talk about nature as if it was acting human. It kind of looks like it is human, but it isn't. I like what you did with this poem. You brought nature to life in this write. Thanks for sharing!
