This kind of persistent rain has a tendency to send me to sleep and you created an atmospheric write here and I enjoyed your presentation of words increasing in size as the rain is getting louder, magical, love Dolly x

You did a wonderful job with this tableau poem. I loved the way you built it to a crescendo with your words (pattering, trickling, pouring and finally roaring) and slowly increasing font size. That was very well done.

This tableau poem, Rain, has the required formatting and brings the weather to our window where we can appreciate its severity while enjoying our safety.

The first and second lines seem to have 5 beats between them, rather than 5 beats each. What about "Looking up, I wait > Till I hear the sound", or something like that.

This is a well-stated Tableau poetry contest entry. The text is a great size, and the message is basically stated clearly except line two. On line #2 if the word "the" was placed before window that line would be clearer. Your message paints a picture of a progressing dreary rainy day.
The photo fits well. Good luck in the contest.

very good. the method of using the font to coincide with the heaviness of rainfall was very creative and played well with your words. Good luck in the writing prompt. Well done.

I like the increasing sizeof the font to represent the increasing volume of the rain. Your image is lovely and presentation excellent. Best wishes for your entry.
