Shifting Shape

There’s fire in those eyes Flames flicker from finger tips Her voice is forged from thunder She has such shapely hips She’s not quick to anger Still you do not want her scorn Her’s is the soul of a warrior Heaven sent not mortal born She is the thing of legends Impossible to understand With subtle smile upon her lips The sky she does command You may call her nature A mother to us all Winter spring and summer multicoloured in the fall. Stare upon her beauty Suckle at her breast God’s offering from the heavens Is she a curse or are we blessed?

I love this one, Rich: I view nature as a female spirit. I think the storms come from Thor. Ha ha SuZ

Pretty fair description there, Richard. She's the 'Stormy Temptress,' a Shakespearean figure!

This is such a unique personification of nature. Some men describe women too in a similar way, clever write dear richard. Always a pleasure reading your work.

Mother nature in all her glory, both fearsome and awe-inspiring, not one to disrespect or she will let you know~

Oh, I see. This is a timely poem about the resilient woman, Nature. I agree. We can make earth angry. But earth has the upper hand.

Hello Richard, When I first started reading your poem, I was wondering whether this was a Greek Goddess, a human or... After reading, I was really impressed that my mind was creating while reading and it came to light by the end of the poem. That is a sign of a great poet. - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

We are indeed blessed by the awesomeness of nature. But beware. She doesn't take well to being abused. Nice one Rick
