Umbrella World
June 16, 2016
Though thunder roars and rolls across the darkened sky,
and flashes of light tear the midnight in half,
I lift my face to the rain
and smile as my worries puddle at my feet.
I wish everyone would stop for a moment
and put away their umbrellas.

This is beautifully simple. As is rain, so it makes sense that it would be written like so. The diction in this is incredibly fitting. Thank you for sharing. Keep writing. If you could check out my work and comment, it would be appreciated. Thanks!

You have a way with words, given that you only needed a few to express such depth and feeling! I love how you pool all of your emotion into one simple and natural occurrence: rain. It's brilliant in a rather classical and understated sort of way

I definitely think that the alliteration in the first line was artistic. The poem also conveyed a meaningful message— great work!

I really like the sort of lyrical cadence this has, and the imagery is very effective. Continue writing!

This is really good. I wish you would've written more; it would've been nice to read.
