from rain to tears (cinquain)
storm clouds
grey and windy,
filling up with water,
droplets falling on everything,
teardrops

I like how every line has some suggestion towards rain ~ though the poem is about tears --- even if it's implicitly suggested through "grey clouds" and "storm clouds". There is a good build up to the final line which is shorter than the rest. It builds up structurally and climaxes on a short "teardrops"... Good work!
Every line of this poem is a soothing lul to carry the reader right to the "teardrops". The pacing is great and is consistent. Imagery is achieved with little to work with. Great job :)
this is interestingly metaphysical. i like your descriptive verbiage: “grey and windy” work perfectly together. my one critique is maybe consider taking out “down,” as i think it’s a bit redundant and weighs down an otherwise concise poem.
