Jackson, Mississippi, has already received nearly half the rainfall it usually gets in a YEAR! Your poem tells the truth--very creatively and emotionally,
with a little humor.

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Hello Yvette, a fun poem with a lot of truths. If this is fact, then you are not alone. We, in UK, are having more than our share of rain. Some parts are totally flooded out of their homes. Touch wood we're OK. Your poem is good with descriptive stanzas, written in a folksy, friendly manner in good abcb rhyme. Well done - Good Luck in the contest. Regards Dorothy x

I don't drive anymore but I'm right there with you. My goodness, front after front lately. My azaleas are here admist the chill and cold, weary rain. I am fairer than the fair, anyway. I just bought a bronzing stick for my cheeks.
Sending you my best today as always, and best wishes for the upcoming contest,
Sal xoxo

But even with the bronzing and chilliness, I wouldn't trade it for snow, yeah?! ;) Thanx so much for your review, Lady Sal -- always appreciated! Yvette
Comment from Susan Larson
Oh, Yvette, are we ever tired of this rain I was babysitting my toddler grandson who had a fever and couldn't go to school. They live 75 miles away. My son insisted I stay one more day in hopes that the rain would stop. Well, it eventually gave us a little break, but several school districts along my route home delayed opening because of flooding! There's a low spot in the short road to our gym. The gym closed for a day because of the lake that formed there. The only thing good is that I get to splash around in my paisley shin high rubber galoshes.

Oh, yeah, Susan - I HEAR you!! :) The two smaller rivers near here have not seen their true 'banks' in weeks.... I laughed to myself as I was driving to work the other day: people visit the South and wonder why there are all these 'random' bridges over dry land on our highways... well, right now, that dry land is NON-EXISTENT!! ;) So, it is CLEAR why those 'random' bridges exist!! :) :) Sigh. Weather is as weather does... I just wish it would 'do' a bit more sun, yeah? Thanx so much for your review, my lady -- always appreciated! Yvette
Comment from Gwen Canfield
Practical application and analogies of a more emotional/political/cultural topic of society's overall dissatisfaction and desire to complain. Even when it has nothing to complain about or even when the next moment its feeling appreciative towards what it had then but now does not.

Comment from ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova
Ah, spring! I can't wait either. So much sunshine, joy, and fishing to look forward to. Not to mention making camping trip plans for summer. Great poem.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written rhyming poem about the winter wetness that can work on a person's nerves and we cannot wait for Spring to arrives. Personally I prefer the winters because of summer's extreme heat, but I agree sometimes the winter can last too long.

Comment from Brett Matthew West
The first stanza paints a dark and gloomy picture of continual storms.
Good personification of the windshield wipers in the second stanza.
Good rhyme scheme with strong rhyme pairings including hide/pride, pair/hair, and Spring/wring.
As they say, don't like the weather? Give it five minutes it'll change, and between seasons it really does.
Liked the last line of "Sunny is the perfect norm" - good outlook regardless of what the weather is.

Haha, I love how relatable this poem is. Also, I like how you've presented the windshield wipers as living things in a way. This was really fun to read and something that I think everyone can relate to.
