Poem Artwork

ratcheted as high
as its temper will allow,
the bullying sky

it wrestles me to
the ground and shouts in my ear -


i
   feel 
          very 
                  small


insignificant.

a trivial pursuit whose
fate is in its hands -


(c) 2009, Karla Dorman (8/28)

Karla, you have succeeded poetically with putting into perspective just how infinitesimal we humans are relative to this planet and the universe -- another great photo you shared with us -- peace and love my dear friend -- Jon Michael

At times like those we realize just how unpowerful and not in control as we think we are...

I like your poem and your video, PorchChaser. Mother Nature's epic weather shows should make us all feel very insignificent; I think it's good for our souls.

Excellent write, Karla, and that sky: wow! Looks like trouble's a brewin'! (No kidding! LOL) Very well penned/illustrated; brava! That was some storm; glad we made it through!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your (chicken-hearted) twin and reluctant chase partner, Karen Lynn. :D

I think most of us when we are under the tremendous spell of the weather in a similar situation feel small and very insignificant, Karla.
