The clouds move in Ready for an attack Like bomber planes Ready to end life. But rather, to start it For after the shower, The flowers will reach higher, And the rabbits will hop Out from hiding Blinking into the light. Little ones will play With balls bouncing down the street, Dogs will run through the grass. And all the while The sun will graze along, And stop to warm the ground Like a thick blanket Warming a small child. The wind will whisper Nuzzling through the grass As a gentle horse Looks for a carrot. But until then The world waits inside Listening to the tiny bullets Waging war on land. |
This was a good poem, Shannon.....you described well, the lovliness of nature after a shower and how one longs for the storm to be done so that one can go out !| Posted on 2007-01-30 00:00:00 | by mdsouza | [ Reply to This ] | I think it does a good job holidng imagery the idea of war being fought against the land rather then agaisnt each other is not new, but is still fresh, shows creative influence, and a good poetic skill to take something that is not your own and make it so it is. | Good job. | Posted on 2006-12-04 00:00:00 | by obsidiandreams | [ Reply to This ] | This is really thought provoking: the juxtapositioning of the notion of bombers and bombs with that jolly experience of the rabbit bounding along is very powerful. The use of Nature is a splendid counterbalance to the threat you are posing here. A special read, thank you. | Donald | Posted on 2006-12-03 00:00:00 | by siradrian | [ Reply to This ] | This is really beautiful | I Love the Rain and know the Rain is the One thing that is extrelely important in carrying Life forward The rain supplies Life and replenishes us so we can move forward in life I believe also the rain carries away all Negativity stored in our soul and creates a new spot in our soul for Happiness and Positive Energy to latch on too Excellent Job!!!
