- Along With The Thunder -

                                    The moment lasted a while,
                                         uncertain how long
                                       Thunder and lightning
                                           in wild confusion
                                    - flashed with sabre rays
                                    and powerful thunder sound 

                                          Interrupted by hail
                                  first as peas - then tennis balls
                                           Nature's curse,
                                    brought the evil man closer
                                  When all its elements convulse
                                  trembling with disturbed power
                                       acknowledges its status

                                        On the horizon's edge
                                         sun finally appeared
                                       As traces of inscriptions
                                          - beauty achieved

John Fleming July 27, 2025 at 1:26 PM Most appealing! Like the lines: "acknowledges it's status - On the horizon's edge". Nicely penned, Anne-Lise. :) john

Rowena Velasco July 21, 2025 at 4:40 AM Powerful imagery of nature’s fury and calm. The poem moves beautifully from chaos to peace, leaving a hopeful impression.

Anisha Dutta May 25, 2025 at 7:34 AM Excellent I liked much Sure to win in contest. Blessings.

Jack Ellison May 22, 2025 at 6:55 AM There is no other way to describe natures fury! This thunderous example is so well described one could only imagine such intensity!

Joseph P. DiMino May 22, 2025 at 12:40 AM Sometimes in the mist of storms, it is difficult even to imagine a horizon, bright or otherwise...by the grace of God enters a gentle, soothing eye for well deserved respite -- blessed to have friends, family, and an extra special someone perhaps. Powerful image!

Victor Buhagiar May 21, 2025 at 10:57 PM For me facing thunderstorms can be easy. so long as I am inside. Your poem is full of great imagery. Best for a win. Hugs.

Paula Goldsmith May 21, 2025 at 12:09 PM I enjoyed reading your wonderful "Along With The Thunder" write. Great Picture... "Good Luck" with hugs. Have a wonderful/blessed day writing away............

Valsa George May 21, 2025 at 9:59 AM More than the poem, I am impressed by the image you have chosen. With your beautiful account of the thunderstorm, you have infused a fiery strength to the image and it has assumed an alarming dimension. But at the end, everything is calm. Great entry. All the Best, dear Anne. Hugs.

Sara Kendrick May 21, 2025 at 7:29 AM Wow!! I like the approach you've used to this situation. The storm was very short for us this morning around 5:30 or so. Not so short and a whole lot more damaging in some areas. Some have been very deadly and damaging in some states and areas these last few weeks and even days. Sara K

Ink Empress May 21, 2025 at 6:17 AM The ending was a relief as i read as i am scared of thunderstorms usually, most of the time, what an appropriate picture to go with your well woven poem for the prompt. I love the lines especially “ Thunder and lightning in wild confusion - flashed with sabre rays” i wish i had written that! Such brilliance! Pleasure reading your poem today! Sending you light always.. best wishes

Jan Allison May 20, 2025 at 2:56 PM oh the beauty of mother nature captured so brilliantly I especially love " Thunder and lightning in wild confusion - flashed with sabre rays and heavy thunder sound" so beautifully descriptive! hugs Jan xx
