Poem Artwork

... great seismic surges as
the sky labors to bring
forth the storm.  It slides from
between clouds, slick with wet ----
not the violence I
expected:  no loud cries
of thunder, no flashes
of anger, no waving
fists full of wind and hail:
just a gentle Spring rain.

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (5/5)

A gentle spring rain birthed without any of the anticipated complications. Because you were the poetic midwife responsible for the delivery. Stay safe. Jon Michael Willey

I love how your language suggests to "us" the coming gentle shower of "cumulus congestus"... You're a walking cloud chart!

Very nice, clever usage of verse that shows the gentler side of Spring. How I wish we'd have more tranquil days like this, without the threat of severe! The rain is rather enjoyable today, for a change! Very well penned/illsutrated! BRAVA, Karla!
