What a lovely quatrain. It follows the 4-lines per stanza structure. The rhyme scheme is a-b-a-b. I like that it shows an interesting perspective -- that of a metal roof owner. I found myself trying to hear those noises being described, and I could hear them!

You did a great job with this tribute to your home's metal
roof. You described its benefits well. I liked the way you
gave each item of description a couple lines of how it
affected the roof-the sounds etc. and your job afterwards.
I could easily see everything you mentioned. I imagine the
sound of light rain would be the best. Your rhymes worked
well, too.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan

This is a very good Quatrain. I like the path you took us down and you did a great job of staying on point, the metal roof.

I've never had a metal roof, but I'm sure that eventually we all will.

Nice job and good luck.

Oh how I miss the metal roofs! I don't see them much anymore. I hope they make a comeback. The best things always do. Thank you for sharing this delightful poem and the story within.

Sending you my best today as always, and my very best wishes in the upcoming contest!

Very well written. I enjoyed every line. I also have a tin roof. The downside is the rust from all the rain in Tasmania. The cost has risen to replace the sheets of the tin too.

ABAB rhyme suits this type of poem and you have executed it very well.

"Benefits of a Metal Roof" was well written rich in Theme and Imagery.
It also, read well and flowed well with no Grammar Issues.
The Adjective and Objective Contents were both Excellent and Exceptional while Descriptive Measures Aligned Perfectly.
Good luck with your contest Entry.

Wonderful! My ears are ringing from all the sounds from all the seasons. What a musical wonder is your roof. I love the sing-song quality of each line a lyrical and rhythimc flow. I enjoyed full use of onomatapoeia that engaged senses. Excellent !
