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?

Suzanne Delaney Date: 9/1/2024 3:07:00 AM I love this one, Rich: I view nature as a female spirit. I think the storms come from Thor. Ha ha SuZ Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 9/1/2024 1:08:00 PM Thanks Suzanne, it seems we are mutually agreed. Blessings Richard.

Gershon Wolf Date: 7/20/2024 9:21:00 PM Pretty fair description there, Richard. She's the 'Stormy Temptress,' a Shakespearean figure! Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 7/21/2024 8:35:00 AM Thanks Gershon.

Ink Empress Date: 7/14/2024 6:36:00 AM 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. Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 7/17/2024 11:00:00 PM You are kind. I appreciate your visit.

Hilda Greenhough Date: 7/12/2024 7:06:00 AM 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. Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 7/13/2024 1:54:00 PM Indeed. Thanks for reading.

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 7/11/2024 6:52:00 AM 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 Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 7/11/2024 7:07:00 AM Blessings to you as well.

Tom Woody Date: 7/10/2024 1:40:00 PM We are indeed blessed by the awesomeness of nature. But beware. She doesn't take well to being abused. Nice one Rick Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 7/11/2024 7:08:00 AM A wise warning brother.
