So this isn't visual art but it's still an art form, so I figured it was appropriate to post it here!

I don't write a lot of poems so I'm likely not that great, but I decided to enter a poetry contest anyway. We were given and picture and told to write a poem about it, here's my photo:

And here's my poem:

Drip, drip, drop

Drip, drip, drop,
The rain splashes down,
Big puddles and Dark clouds,
Our happiness is drowned,

Drip, drip, drop,
It washes away the sun,
Covers out the light,
And forces us inside,

Drip, drip, drop,
Why be happy in the rain,
When all it does is bring pain,
Remind us of our shames,

Drip, drip, drop,
Forever coming down,
Like the way the earth spins round,
Will it never slow and stop,

Drip, drip, drop,
We've been watching the clock,
All these hours now,
We've been stuck in this box,

Drip, drip, drop,
I hate the rain,
All it does is bring me pain,
Keeping me away from my flame,

Drip, drip, drop,
Finally it's slowing,
And it comes to a stop,
Very little left to show of it's onslaught,

Drip, drip, drop,
Only a few puddles remain,
The sun will take them away,
By the end of the day,

Drip, drip, drop,
And under the suns bright beams,
I come to realize,
I could not appreciate the sun,
As much as I do,
If I didn't have rain.
