Hi Aiona,
These tanka stanzas shows us different views of rain. It shows the negative and positive ways to look at it. It usually end bring hope of
new life.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Good luck in the contest.
Have a great day.
Joan

Your poem beautifully captures a rainy day. But it's much more than that! The imagery is wonderful. I love dodging pelting drops and sloshing through rain soaked streets. It becomes an adventure! The idea of puddles as domains to be explored is wonderful. I really enjoyed your poem.

Thank you for your review, Michael. I just looked over it, and I realized... I didn't do a tanka form! I did 5-7-5-7-7-5 for each stanza instead of 5-7-5-7-7. OOPS! I fixed it.
