so lull me to sleep , thunderstorm you ingite the velvet sky with crimson fire so free of verse so free of form of your unpredictiability i never do tire my hopes lay drenched on the ground beaten and battered, but no not yet shattered stirring to the alarm clock thunderstorm sound before this nothing really mattered but did it ever? because all is doomed to grow old wither and fade just as this storm will soon die into a bright shining day or so we're all told but you know thats just a forsaken lie we made in our minds to weather the weather with high hopes for the 'morrow oh you know the rain beats hardest when the storm is near its death the thunder is misunderstood moans of sorrow the sky screams as it takes its final breath All hope it seems hopeless but still i wait for the morn |
This is a very interesting and thought provoking. It has deep meaning to it and touches on some somber feelings. I think this one is good in that it is sad and depressing but never gives up hope regardless. You mention you are "beaten and battered, but no not yet shattered" and I like that line. Reminds me of a poem that I wrote called "Hollowed Heart". And I like the ending here as you convey all seems lost but you will hang on just the same. I think this is very well written and expressed and you did a great job with this poem. The only suggestion for you here is I would give this one a title. Poems, to me anyway, seem like they are missing something without a good title. It is kind of like an introduction or a theme for the body of the work. Just my opinion but I think a good title also attracts people's interest. A very good write. Take care.
