Thanks, Jeanette, for the inspiration!

Poem Artwork

Sensitivity to nerves ripe with fear
as the sky opens directly over my
head.  Lightning flashing; thunder
crashing; rain blowing sideways
on mad sheets of wind, a tornado
of sound.  A massive jolt finds me
blinking stupidly from the floor at
the sun streaming in through the
window:  all that panic for nothing.
What a way to begin the morning!

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (4/12)

Walk with uncertainty 'till the sun's rays, greet you and say, hey. Be ever vigilant to your wild weather conditions. Be safe. Jon Michael Willey

There, in the picture, are mean clouds if I ever see ones, but after been slapped a few times by typhoons in the shoth seas and Chine seas and mean looking cloudly sky just looks like a pathetic effort to shout Booooohh! to a charging bull.

Your poor thing. Sounds like just the kind of weather I enjoy. Been to Texas several times in the last few years and I enjoyed the storms. Love driving in them too. We've decided to move out of snow country. Maybe we'll look into Texas. Calm down, enjoy God's wondrous weather and have a great day Karla. Wel done my friend.

You really do put lots of weather sounds, images, and actions in your storm poems. Well done.

A sleeping poem. This part is so full of visual sweets: "rain blowing sideways on mad sheets of wind, a tornado of sound." Good stuff, Karla. --charlie
