Vijay Pandit Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Atmospheric Inferno

Boisterous clouds are churning, roiling air-mass in warm updraft
Declaring on callous inhabitants of earth, a dark ferocious war 
Manifesting malevolent force, imposing anger on spatial norms,
Conspiring with anguished winds to invigorate violent storms.

Colossal is their expanse that threatens the rise of new dawn
Offering a preview of what face of death would encompass
When enraged nature punishes humans for irresponsible acts:
Burning dirty fossil fuels, and decapitating vast forest lands.

Atmospheric inferno defies galactic harmony of equilibrium
Suppressing sun’s orange glow striving to uplift amber horizon,
Shrouding advent of nascent day to teach humanity a lesson
Collaborating with mighty oceans, stirring hurricanes and cyclones.

Overshadowed by the reckless commotion of ghastly gray,
Emerging marigold expression of ascendant tangerine daybreak
Grieves for the lost vegetation and deserted parched terrains,
Thundering a warning to foretell why the birds have already left.

Brandy Nicole March 28, 2020 at 9:22 PM "nature punishes humans for irresponsible acts" God is in control. The seasons were set in motion and that will never change. The weather is beyond our control. The things we do here- to our World, on purpose. Ways to destroy it. Yes, we are in control. So- We are reaping those actions. Sad indeed. Many blessings to you my dear friend. ~ Brandy Vijay Pandit March 29, 2020 at 6:18 AM Thank you my friend--much appreciate, as always, Brandy.

Besma Riabi Dziri March 28, 2020 at 11:07 AM Absolutely! We are seeing "the face of death" hearing "the thunder of warning".. we are feeling "the conspiracy of Nature forces" and living their rage! We are all going through the inferno of contagion and feeling its dread! But not all of us have the gift and artistry to interpret the Humanity threat and universe chaos in such an astounding creativity! So wonderful a poetry, dear Vijay! Definitely worthy of being faved and honoured! Stay safe. My deepest regards and blessings. Vijay Pandit March 28, 2020 at 11:45 AM Always a pleasure to read your comments my friend. Delighted by your kind feedback--many thanks, Besma. Regards!
