I like this poem very much. It tells how you feel in a very lilting rhyming way. The picture lends itself to your well-chosen words and together your entry should do well. Good luck!

With winter weather raging on, we can turn to thoughts of summer and rain showers instead of snow fall. I enjoyed the rhythm and the rhyme combined in your work.

Although it is only mid-March, it was fun to write this poem about a child stomping around in the summer rain. Many thanks for sharing.
Comment from Susan Newell
Your lovely kyrielle surely brings back memories of warm summer rain and the real fun of getting absolutely drenched, without boots, slicker or umbrella!

Comment from QC Poet
A very nice childhood Kyrielle writing with the first line repeated through the four paragraphs. Nice accompanying the photo you chose to write about. Best Wishes to you in the Contest. God's Blessing.

Comment from Debra White
Hello :)
I enjoyed reading your kyrielle poem. The meter is even and the repeat line doesn't seem forced at all. Your use of enjambment is very effective and adds to the overall smoothness of the read. Beautiful imagery throughout - I can almost feel the rain :)
A sweet and innocent theme which brings out the inner child!
Good luck in the voting booth.
Best wishes, Debra

That was beautifully written, flowed smoothly for easy reading. The description was vivid, and memories flashed in my mind, good feelings. The picture definitely is complimentary

This Kyrielle poem speaks how, why and when you lived your childhood days, how much innocent, enjoying, enterprising and adventurous moments all those days were; well said, well done; thanks for sharing this. ALCREATOR

This is an excellent entry into the Kyrielle poetry contest. The poet is able to succinctly explain why they love a rainy summer day and make it rhyme. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Mark D. R.
Rod,
This is such a charming post. Your combo of your painted illustration and verse are a terrific expression of that summer-day feeling you shared.
Lots of good phrasing and rhymes in your Kyrielle entry.
Regrettably my poetry skill level will not in my future tackle this style. But, you have admirably done so!
I especially like each of the concluding lines for each stanza.
Mark
P.S. Long poems are not in my poetry wheelhouse. I can get cute, at times, with rhymes in my short ones, but for long verses it just ain't happening.

Hi, Mark. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and praise my Kyrielle. I find any rhyming poem to be a challenge, but PRACTICE does ultimately improve one?s art. I write poetry as an exercise to improve my PROSE. Rod

I write mine to relax me or release stress and/or to fill up my pandemic days with an activiry. It is good brain exercise for sure! When the weather is good, I often sit in my sun-baked car after my walk around the block. And its an easy time to scratch out some poems (-:
