Every word should have meaning to the integrity of the poem.
"As it rains outside
The drops are like tiny fragments of water
Falling like objects that are dropped..."

Telling me in a banal way what rain is isn't going to get you high marks. Remember to cut out everything that isn't needed, and say what is needed in the most beautiful way possible (that includes the obscene only when called for).
