Rainy nights do tend to make me feel sentimental. And this piece captures those nostalgic notes with both the words and the artwork. I love the grey tones and the imagery of jumping in puddles. Who hasn't done that as a child? Should do well in the contest.

I like the contrast between the first and last line. The first being dark, and the last about the light joyfulness of being a child. I think that it works well to build a bigger image of the character looking out at night and the position they find themselves

Excellent imagery and presentation! I think your poem is likely to do well in the polls.
(I must say I, personally, child or adult, never jumped in puddles in the rain.)

The first two lines of this poem flow and connect well. The last line
puts the poem all together. Thank you for the author's notes - the
history is always great to know. The artwork is perfect and compliments
this poem. Have a great weekend!

Love the atmospheric artwork and the dark presentation.

For me, your poem relates to the way that small events hold the key to memories from long ago. It is raining as I write this. Can I use that as a magic carpet back to my own childhood? Yes!
