Raindrop

It is honestly all that is keeping me awake.
It is the only reason my cheek is pushed against the pane.
The quiet comfort that reminds me the world is still going.
The only reason I am writing this, now.
It is the base of so many a lost memory.
Riding through puddles to get as wet as we please.
Others spending hours as to avoid it completely.
It is why we have learned to check the weather before driving.
It is the image that inspires many a beautiful drawing.
It is possibly my favourite natural form because
It holds potential and beauty as long as it pours.

Hello Evie

So nice to meet you. I have seen your name here on the site before but didn't have time to respond. I have some suggestions for changes which I will give bellow. Remember they are just suggestions. It is honestly all that is keeping me awake. It is the only reason my cheek is pushed against the pane. The quiet comfort that reminds me the world is still going. The only reason I am writing this, now. It is the base of so many a lost memory. Riding through puddles to get as wet as we please. Others spending hours as to avoid it completely. It is why we have (leart) learned to check the weather before driving. It is the image that inspires many a beautiful drawing. It is possibly my (favourite) favorite natural form because It holds potential and beauty as long as it pours. The misspelled words are in parentheses. I like your poem for its simplicity and honesty. I hope I have been of help to you. Always, Cat
