Inspired by the comment Miranda Hawley made to my "After a Storm". Thank you Miranda!

The day before a storm belies calm and quiet, wispy clouds bounce in skies bright with boundless blueness, Southern summer surprise. The day before a storm promotes a sweet fragrance blown by light, gentle gusts, softly scampering through with breathy upward thrusts. The day before a storm imprints the Southern sky, a taunting, teasing wind caresses blank canvas and moves colors to blend. The day before a storm rattles ironclad glaives of battling stratus clouds, a lull looms in the air warning of what it shrouds.

Your vocabulary days and imagerry, take me back to mine…earlier in Chicago. Where I live now we really have storms. I in no way miss them, though Elena does. I really like this poem! Pangie

I think the whole of Britain has come to realise this. Times sure are changing, and I suppose we'll just have to get used to it.

I like your approach here. The day before... everything calm. Then it happens, sometimes to the point of calamity. Yet, who knew it was coming. It reminds me of this Bible verse - Ecclesiastes 9:11

I found your poem captivating with your spot on descriptions of 'before a storm.' We have lots of storms here in Texas in the spring and again in the fall...what you've described does occur the day before. I loved 'battling stratus clouds.' Just well done, Linda. Have a splendid weekend, hugs, Sara

Being a native Texan, the storms here are the ones with which I am most familiar. Many thanks Sara dear. Have a love-filled and fun-filled weekend! :)
