Good cinquain, and a good entry in the contest. Provided the rain is warm, it's a good place to dance. 'Doldrums drip and wash away' in the rain. Well done.

I greatly enjoyed your cinquain of rain, mystery writer;
Rain has many advantages apart from nourishing the earth;
Nice alliteration of "Dancing";
"Doldrums drip" as rain is enjoyed in so fine a fashion.
A pleasure to read!

I love rain;
I don't mind cloudy, gray skies at all.

Dancing outside in rain
helps dissolve stress and pain
Doldrums drip and wash away ...
in refrain

All those 'd' and 's' allits make for a continuum of sound...pitter/patter perhaps. Pic reminds me of Woodstock in upper New York state long ago. Well done. Meets all strictures.

Regards:

I really liked this. You've caught the feeling of playing in the rain, plus stayed within the format. I don't know how this could be improved, given the format.

I don't mind at all my friend, I love to play and splash in the puddles, always a 'kid' at heart. The syllable count is correct per this reader.
good luck and thank you

Your poem is beautiful, but no thanks for the rain dancing. I'd be content to watch.
I like the rain, pain, refrain. This has a nice easy flow. Good job and good luck in the contest.

You are so right. Dancing in the rain is a wonderfully fun activity. And let us not forget how much fun it was to hop in puddles before we learned how expensive our shoes were.
