A Stormy Villanelle

her storm seen sometime or never
her form a mottled cry,
begs the clinker from the sky

that many try, to pacify her ire,
nought can quench her heady fire,
her storm seen sometime or never

none have won to pacify her surge,
to all men now a cursed scourge,
begs the clinker from the sky

no prediction can be lent,
only heaven’s interdiction can be lent,
her storm seen sometime or never

grasps the metal’s leery eye,
depths of Hades burns it dry,
begs the clinker from the sky

then hard pull, protection’s reins,
her nature’s wrath, knows no direction,
her storm seen sometime or never,
begs the clinker from the sky
