Rain hail or shine most folks will find something to complain about, I like your idea of picking one to be happy with (good luck), though I must agree the severe wet does seem to do more damage, and it does make it very hard for us to stay dry, an excellent poem as it flows (not with water Ha! Ha!) but with ease, best wishes for your contest****kahpot

    LOL!! You know the blonde, when at a loss for a contest poem topic, go to the most apparent, or WET, as the case may be!! ;) Weather is as weather does... I just wish it would 'do' a bit more sun, yeah? :) I do hope you've found a bit of a smile over there, sir -- see, if I were anywhere near I'd come by with some crazy flowers or something, but since you're all the way around the world, you're gonna have to just take the sunshine in this silly note and bask in it - lol! :) Thanx so much for your review, and take care of you! Yvette

You use some very original rhymes in this poem, such as "warm" and "norm." I enjoyed reading it. It reminded me of the two years long ago when I lived in Portland, Oregon, where it can rain buckets.

Rain, rain go away! We have snow, but I can relate. I am so ready to welcome warmer, dryer weather. I can relate to the weather people crying drought as well. It does seem to happen every year.
This was an enjoyable poem to read. Your poor wet feet, and frizzy hair.

    Yes! Go far away - LOL! It is just 'the Southern Winter'.... but we truly are way ahead in our rainfall totals this year compared to the recent past... ;) And, as they say, perception is reality and I perceive a heckuvalot of rain!! :) :) :) Thanx for stopping in on this one, Debi, and have a great weekend!! ;) Yvette

This work has reached the exceptional level

I envy the ability of a person who's perfected perfect rhyming! I love the rhythm. Your poem is as light and airy as the Spring. We get 5 months of cloudy weather here up North, that's our "norm." Good luck in the contest.

I enjoyed your fun. I too am really tired of the clouds and rain. It is supposed to rain again today.

Great artwork to compliment your work.

Blessings

This is terrific Yvette. Spot on metre and rhyme and I get a charge out of we humanoids seasonal transitions and traditions that you have captured with just the right wit.

Great job and I wish you much great luck with the Committee.

This is such a fun, lyrical write on your weather for the Rhyming Poem contest. It's much the same, here in Washington State. Fortunately, I love the rain and never get tired of reading bout it :) Well done. Good luck in the contest.

Don't worry, be happy, Yvette. :) Sun is on the rise, but winter don't want to let go. and it will snow, snow, snow. (Your part of the country.) :) Now down here where the sun does shine it's, hot, hot, hot. Break out the beach wear! :) Be happy, Europe's weather is hot and going to get hotter just ask Dolly. This is a good entry for the Rhyming Poetry Contest.
