Storms

Storms
Bleak blacken storm clouds fast approaching, Nature is angrily panting and fuming. Self-righteously and passionately enraged, the growing tempest now dominates center stage. Dark and moody quite Machiavellian, gusty strong winds start blasting in open rebellion; and no sane human being dares to challenge this wrathful defiant hellion.
As furious Thor wields mighty Mjölnir, his fearsome hammer, heat and cold energies collide in a turbulent manner. Amid roaring thunder, vivid silver streaks of lightning, and heavy precipitation, terrified, we cautiously peep through the shutters in utter fascination; as winds smash and torrential rains pour, we stare at the frenzied destruction. The storm has effortlessly uprooted skyscraper trees, vengefully knocking towering buildings down to their very knees.
What an awful frightening sight! When storms rage with all their might, only Noah’s Ark would survive such a devastating plight. Like a snail, time moves slowly when storms are around, intent on wreaking havoc, they will firmly stand their ground. But once nature’s energies and pent-up anger thankfully subsides, storms will pass, and at last, we can safely venture outside.

Super job of description and imagery, Pandita! Were you describing a typhoon or hurricane? It felt like that to me. Lived in Okinawa for 4 years and experienced many typhoons. Great write! Love, Kim

Time does seem to stand still and nature calms down as strong storms approach. And when we are in the middle of them, we get swept up into their frenzy and become afraid.... You really have written a great poem here, Pandita! Very powerful! I enjoyed it very much!

Mmmmm...I'm excited Pandita. Your description of the fury a d wrath, with a reverence is so heavily sweet, like plump rain clouds. I also appreciate the pouty attitude you ascribe to the spirit of this storm's power. This is hot! Thestructure of the poem looks like a beautiful thunderhead too. J.A.B.

Pandita dramatically captures the power of natural forces, and does it in credible— yet poetically elegant—form. More than that, though, the poem effectively reminds us of the extent to which we are beholden to Mother Earth. Nice. . .very nice.

We are very lucky in England, Great dramatic write. I love how you have skilfully described the scene so visually. best wishes. Pete.
