Not among my best. However, I did invent a word, ...


Poem Artwork

Fury

A thousand thousand lightning strikes,
Upon your gnarly peaks and pikes.
Soft snow swirling gently down,
It may take weeks and weeks.

To reach the point of crashing down,
On unsuspecting soul or town.
Or melting into a mighty torrent,
Lands below to ravage and wrent.

A mighty tempest does unfurl,
From its clouds a whirl a whirl.
Ripping everything in its path,
With no mercy, mindless wrath.

Heavy raindrop with a thud,
Making more than just some mud.
Rising rivers rip away,
Land, the trees, souls that stay.

Rising up out of the sea,
A monster's eye one cannot see.
Lashing fury upon the land,
Flooding inland from sea to sand.

Mountains move slowly by,
Opening the Earth with a mighty pry.
Spewing fire upon the land.
Creating contours with a fiery hand

Comets and meteors fill the sky.
If they will hit not when or why.
Such beauty when they’re spent,
Each big hit an extinction event.

A long hot sun will dry and dry,
Kill and kill as months drag by.
When winter comes there is no mirth,
In the killing of half the earth.

Hurricane? Cyclone??? Your storm here is the power play of mother nature. WE need to heed the warning in your words.

Wonderful vortex of power verse!!

Ron, I'll certainly have to read more of you, especially since you say this is not the good stuff. LOL! I enjoyed this much.

Now about these people who stay when they know darn well a hurricane or cyclone's about tho hit and they've been told repeatedly to evacuate: What's up with that? ;-)

Talk to me about this word invention of yours.

Ron, though the subject matter is entirely different, I kept thinking of Yeats' "a terrible beauty is born" about the 1916 Easter Rising. Both poems use exquisitely fascinating contradictions and both absorb the reader. It's an amazing piece that can evoke images from mere words... but, then, there's really nothing "mere" about this. It's grand and huge! katy xox.
