Poem Artwork


 

Like opulent breasts, pregnant clouds loom

Under a dense, gloomy sky that plays dusk at noon

Wild thunder resounding from olive mountains afar

Shaking the earth, a shiver runs through my old car

Wind gusts swirl leaves and salty sea spray to me

A gray angry ocean roars beyond a line of trees

The cloud has burst- torrential curtain rains fall

Airwaves from ahead blowing fresh as they roll

Swallows high up challenge the storm and pass

Monsoon has arrived on my jungle isle, at last

This poem made me re-live my fear of the elements -- rain and wind storms scare the life out of me. Your use of active words made this poem as powerful as the storm. I could feel the urgency in it. Thank you for sharing this. Good work!

Carmen :-)
