Notes About The Poem
This or That Vol.33 poetry contest Sponsored by Edward Ibeh May 2025 "Along with the thunder" my phrase choice given by Mr.Ibeh

Along with the Thunder



There is not always rain Along with the thunder There is not always bite Along with the bark There is not always oxygen When we go under Not always a devil Along with the dark But we can always count on, Along with the sorrow, Laughter and joy joining this life We can always count on, Along with the blood shed, Somewhere, a sharp wicked knife We can always count on These weapons of warfare Harmless until held in our hands We can always count on Having our fair share The wicked intent of mortal man There will be a rainbow Along with the thunder Along with the lightning The still waters of night There will be such beauty After all blows asunder Along with the blindness A great, glorious sight

I have to say, I appreciate the poignancy of this poem, Crystol, for the times in which we live. There is a cautious optimism, laced with warning and wisdom. You have balanced well using opposition in tandem with connection. I like it; clever and thought inducing (fav). Blessings, S:) x
