Reviews For: On the Day it Rained

I liked the rhythm this poem had. Instead of using slant rhyme and the like you relied on an inner musicality (i.e there's rhythm in the lines without it being too obvious)

I think you should work on the redundancy though. We already know she is unhappy due to the last line of the first stanza. You don't have to remind us through out the poem. It sort of diluted the power of the poem.

Nice Job. Keep Writing

I like the concept, but there are some stylistic changes I would make. I would get rid of the line "after another." As the point is fully portrayed in the previous line, this just seems awkward. I really would have liked to have seen consistent capitalization (all or none). I think that it would create a more focused statement. Without a period at the end, the poem seems unfinished and kind of left me hanging. If a period had been present, it would have created a definitive and satisfying ending.
