Under the gun for severe thunderstorms later tonight...

Gathering forces plot their
attack, waiting for just the
right moment to strike; under
cover of darkness would be
nice.  The only warning would
be distant cannon, then the
high scream of wind:  nations at
war?  No--nighttime thunderstorms.

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman.  (2/23)

Ah, Karla, we do live with the thunderstorms out here in Texas, don't we! It's just Sky Mother and Sky Father bowling in the Star Web, and that ball sure does rumble down the lane!

Love this one!

i'm always in awe of nighttime thunderstorms ... they have such a sense of power and majesty ... though i realize under the Texas night sky they must also appear ominousness in intensity and overwhelming in their potential effect ... keep covered and safe, Karla ...

Good imagery! I like the thunderstorms, and hope I never have to experience the metaphoric counterpart of distant cannon and forces plotting attacks.

It is always an indeed pleasure to read such fine well written artistic work. I love coming out to my favorite den where you all inspire me so much every day. What I read share and know is such a wonderful view. Stay focused and always write on.

I am actually looking forward after this cold but wishy washy winter we've weathered, to some summer storms and rain and thunder squalls. I do so love the lightning

Great description. We're under the gun here too. You are definitely developing your "voice" in verse, so much stronger than the last time I read your words!!! Keep reaching!

Karla I enjoyed reading your "Under Cover of Darkness"
This write had such a mysteriousness about it, however a wonderful offering, something to contemplate also.

Take cover and be safe,
