Linda Alice Fowler Poet Monchielle Stanza

After a Storm

The day after a storm
shades the skies in blackness,
shoutings of rain subside
in the blueness of day
where puffy clouds reside.

The day after a storm
quenches the scorched, sere earth,
clamor of birds is heard –
a chaotic chorale –
theater of absurd 

The day after a storm
betrays the Southern sun,
the sad bruises hidden
in amorphous phases
peeking through, unbidden.

The day after a storm,
smectic layers emerge
iridescent yet clear,
suffusing the soulful,
coaxing Sol to appear.

Miranda Hawley December 28, 2023 at 4:14 PM I think you should write this poems Pre-quil and call it "Before The Storm". You did a great job with this though.

Tom Cunningham December 28, 2023 at 11:42 AM I love the aftermath of a storm, everything is still and the air feels fresher, sadly though it can leave destruction in its wake..
