Poem Artwork


You sense when a great storm approaches
It rambles and shakes from the floor
Feels like horses stampeding
Just nature marching once more
The awesome drops that are speeding
Like bullets when rain hits the roof
It's hard to quiet your heartbeat
When drops are like horses hooves
They seem to be chasing their shadows
The shadows being the clouds
The darkness of forces approaching
With thunder that threatens...out loud
Flares of nature's ambition
Feeding the earth with such force
Spears of light...ammunition
Threatening us all on her course
Marching like Sherman she broaches
The marshes that lead to the sea
Afterward calming her creatures
The animals, birds and then me
The calm after she leaves us
Its heaven smitten with greens
Limes and colors of emeralds
Washed over and smelling so clean.

Right. It's after the great storm. Unsurpassed green beauty, at least in our Ga.

If storms were horses, I'd have a stampede. Nice allegory.

How long have you written poetry? Long I bet - I like the subjects, especially nature topics you choose - always done with such control, Finely crafted.

I love the smell of the air after a rainstorm or snowstorm, it is unmistakably fresh and rejuvenated.
Much peace, love, and light,

It is hunker down time, hopefully with a few friends, or just that one special friend . . . Riding it out, grateful it is over . . . Much like mental storms which attack unmercifully . . .

Marching in like Sherman, huh? Now, that's fast and furious, but what to expect from a Suthin' Belle? This is good, and I was in the mood for such. We ain't had no stormin' to brag aboout in monts and years! Luff and Kitthis, - Bill
