Love your poem, and the picture is just beautiful. Good message in this poem about living in typhoon country. A good job of telling what happens in a small amount of words. Great job.

I love MoonWillow's art. And this one is really great. Loved the short poem. It's about nature, so I think it might follow a pattern after all. But, don't go by me. I'm not one of the haiku experts on here. Smile.

I think you could safely call this haiku.
It's about a natural phenomenon, the storm.
The opening lines give a sense of the event through clear imagery.
The satori in your last line, offers another view through 'drum rolls' imagery, of the storm's impact.
Good use of alliteration to aid flow:drop from drenched clouds
drums
Good complementary art work
A very nice snippet of poetic vision

'Storm Signals' is an extremely well-written piece. Short, succinct and very much to the point. It was a pleasure to review a work of this standard.

I feel you have a beautiful, classic haiku nevertheless. In any case, your short poem has a very effective cutting line and is typical of storms, the droplets often feeling like pellets from a peashooter! Well done.

This brings to mind the sound of thunder being like a drum roll in the distance as a storm us moving in while drops if water begin to fall from black clouds billow in the sky.

Just me again. I see a pitter patter(n) here. It works....even if it has fifteen lines. Precise statements in very few words can say a lot. Especially if the words stimulate the readers internal dialog with understanding or additional thought. Boy oh boy could I ever hear the loud bets of rain drumming.
