Before a Storm

The day before a storm
belies calm and quiet,
wispy clouds bounce in skies
bright with boundless blueness,
Southern summer surprise.

The day before a storm
promotes a sweet fragrance
blown by light, gentle gusts,
softly scampering through
with breathy upward thrusts.

The day before a storm
imprints the Southern sky,
a taunting, teasing wind
caresses blank canvas
and moves colors to blend.

The day before a storm
rattles ironclad glaives
of battling stratus clouds,
a lull looms in the air
warning of what it shrouds.

Tom Woody Date: 1/5/2024 4:27:00 PM I like your approach here. The day before... everything calm. Then it happens, sometimes to the point of calamity. Yet, who knew it was coming. It reminds me of this Bible verse - Ecclesiastes 9:11 Login to Reply Linda Alice Fowler Date: 1/7/2024 7:04:00 AM Hello Tom. Thank you for visiting and commenting. Yes, I recall the verse. :)
