Seeing the sunshine makes everyone better! The picture brings to mind the way a hurricane looks; you wrote about the rains destroying people and nature. I am sure they wait for the storms to seize.

The idea is very clear in the poem and technically correct (9 - 1)
The only thing I keep wondering about is the "unfinished ending" of the last 2 lines.
Anyway, best of luck for the contest

I understand perfectly after all our floods this year, and there were many times when by the power of prayer the rains stopped for a few days and there was some respite for the flood victims. Thank you for sharing. Best wishes for your entry.

Do you mean:
"a (prayer) in my heart" on line five?

I'm loving the sentiment here in this nonet poem, I wish you luck with the contest, love Dolly x

This poem follows the rules of the Nonet poetry contest and reads well. However, the line 'a pray in my heart' reads very oddly as surely it should be prayer. You could have said something like 'a heart-felt prayer' instead.
Good luck in the competition

This is a fine nonet, correct in syllable count and result in an almost perfect isosceles triangle. I wondered whether 'prayer in my heart' would have been a grammatical improvement on 'a pray in my heart' and I doubt if it would have affected the shape adversely.

For example:
a pray in my heart
prayer in my heart

You very skillfully created drama that escalated to the point of complete helplessness - culminating in a silent prayer. And then relief. Well done!

Your poem is delightful and skillfully written. I'm not a poet, but I do enjoy reading poetry. I love the artwork as it compliments the meaning of the words you wrote. Best of luck in the contest.

This nonet, Protected, has the proper formatting and reminds the readers that even when nature is out to get us, God holds a place in His heart for our survival.
