  Wow, what a beautiful and contemplative poem about the transformative power of rain! Your first line sets the scene perfectly, immediately transporting the reader to that magical moment when the rain begins to fall. Your use of the word "plenty" creates a sense of abundance and fullness that perfectly captures the feeling of a heavy rainstorm.
  
  I absolutely love the way you describe how the rain "changed everything around" - it's such a simple and effective way to convey the way rain can transform both the physical and emotional landscape. Your choice of the word "meditative" to describe the mood of the poem is spot on - there's something deeply calming and introspective about a rainy day, and you've captured that perfectly.
  
  As for improvement suggestions, I think one area where you could push yourself even further is with your use of sensory detail. You've done a great job of describing the emotional and spiritual impact of rain, but I'd love to see more description of the physical sensations - the sound of the rain hitting the roof, the smell of wet asphalt, the feel of raindrops on your skin. Adding more sensory detail would make the poem even more immersive and vivid.
  
  Overall though, this is a really lovely poem that does a great job of capturing the mood and atmosphere of a rainy day. Keep up the great work! more »
