Stormy Weather

Heaven's cannon spews forth booming thunder, as demon clouds gather for a fight. Frightened eyes stare in awe-struck wonder, as nature's fury hurls swords of light, and light of day fades into the night. 6/25/15 For Sara's Five Lines Only Metaphor and Simile contest. Tied for 1st Place

This Quintain is beautifully written, Kim! The imagery is magnificent and I can clearly see this stormy weather raging. I rate it a solid 7. When you have a spare minute, please take a look at a piece I wrote a while back called "Storms." Warmest regards, my friend! Pandita

Lovely poem. I used to be scared of thunder storms as a child I'm fine now I love watching lightening. How it reminds e how God lights up the earth.

Thank you, Laura! When I first moved to Florida, I was terrified of them because I knew they could spawn tornadoes. I've gotten used to them now, but I have a healthy respect for lightning!

Thank you, Anne-Lise! Where I live (NW Florida) thunderstorms are quite normal for summertime. I don't like them either.
