Description:
So beautiful, yet destructive.
The Storm
Flowers bow, and form a shroud Birds no longer sing out loud Sun falls deep behind a cloud There’s a storm that’s coming soon Cats and dogs, they cease to roam Mothers call their children home Katie Ellie and Jerome Now the storm is almost here Clouds are dark, and gather tight Day it seems, has turned to night Wind it blows with all its might As the storm arrives at last Trees they buckle, as they sway Leaves and branches blow away Waves they crash around the bay As the storm it rages so Rain it lashes, strong and true Rivers run both old and new Floods they come from out the blue As the storm it peaks so well Thunder bellows, children cry Lightening lights up all the sky Sirens flash and pass on by Now the storm has won the day Winds abate, the sky is clear Many rainbows now appear The song of birds again we hear As the storm it blows on by Cats and dogs they roam again Children play out in the den Oblivious to where or when The storm it will return |

I love storms and I love this poem. It neatly wraps up all that a storm brings and the feeling created is that which a storm creates, havoc and renewed peace. It flows perfectly and is yet another great piece from one of my favourite elite poets.| | Posted on 2012-02-06 00:00:00 | by stormyskies | [ Reply to This ] | Excellent! Your poem artfully creates the mood of awe, caution, and pandemonium that a storm brings! I sometimes think that God doesn't truly get the respect he deserves until he confronts us with a storm, and makes all of mans monuments seem like mere trifles by comparison! | Excellent, and a delight to read, as all of your work is! | Posted on 2008-07-04 00:00:00 | by Ron Cole | [ Reply to This ] | very well written, I very much enjoyed this. | | Posted on 2008-07-01 00:00:00 | by DorianGrymstone | [ Reply to This ] | This is a great poem, it makes me think of some of the wicked storms we've had pass thru Southern Illinois. Awesome! | | Posted on 2008-07-01 00:00:00 | by whiteangel | [ Reply to This ] | I completely adore this. I love the way it just reads so fluently and the rhymes so simple yet meaningful. | | Posted on 2008-06-30 00:00:00 | by HimeManko | [ Reply to This ] | |
