About This Poem

Symphony Storm

A storm begins the performance 
Ominous clouds 
Prepare the stage 
  
Lighting streaks the sky 
Setting the ambiance 
  
Each small drop 
Begins a new note 
  
Wind blows the trees 
Like strings in an orchestra 
  
Frogs voice 
A choir to the show 
  
Thunder clashing 
As the background percussion 
  
As the sun breaks 
The tempo slows 
  
With clearing skies 
The performers take their bows 
  
And nature's awe-struck audience 
Will return again

    I LOVE IT! It reminded me so much of Richard Strauss' Eine Alpensinfonie. It's a symphonic tone poem, so musically descriptive, of a journey to the top of a mountain and down the other side. On the way down, all hell breaks loose as there's this massive storm. Strauss uses FULL instrumentation, including a man hurling himself against sheets of aluminum to simulate the thunder! Well done Jillian!! Best wishes, Keith
