Wind howling, trees bending, Tempest in the brew! Rain lashing, lawn soaking, Flooding will ensue! Thoughts racing, muse nudging, Nature’s fury frightening! Lights flickering, hand shaking, Thunder first, then lightening! Ocean rising, waves pounding, Hurricane comes ashore! Should have left, with the rest, Wind is now a roar! There’s no hiding, storm is raging, Oops there go the lights! Darkness now, but I know somehow, I will survive this night! House shaking, windows breaking, Water on the floor! Waves lapping, sudden tapping, Someone at the door! Courage fading, slowly wading, Must see who is there! Flashlight diming, fireman grinning, A poet’s life is spared! © Annabel Sheila

Sometimes this is what it feels like inside my head! The poet screams through the storm and hopes for a soft lull so the words will flow. Strong write! ~Elizabeth

Now Annabel, unless the fireman was a relative you should have been spanked for not evacuating. If he was a relative the grin means you're stuck at Aunt Julie's pancake breakfast cooking bacon every Sunday!

Annabel,

I could feel the storm and the wind howling. This sounds like one of our monsoons. Nasty things. Very well written visuals.

We, as writers or poets can put the simplest or most difficult of circumstances into words that tell the story that, in a way, takes some of the problem or pain from the circumstance. Well written, Annabel. I can only hope that these were just words and not a truthful happening. If it was, I'm thankful that you and your family are safe as I would hate to lose a newfound friend.

I believe the mind and heart of a poet craves to experience the very ultimate edge of all...hanging on in the middle of a flood, the last one out in a fire, the greater the risk the greater the reward as in love...it must be the rarest of loves so this poem is so easy to empathize with as a writer and a poet.
