Sara Kendrick Poet Rhyme

By Kerosene Lamp Light

The storm of the night was windy
Loud refrains of thunder with lightening
Willow shook with fright hair fell flimsy 
Forsaken somehow by electrical power's might

So writing by faint oil lamp light
Thinking of the great who of yore
Read_wrote_under adversity
Strong people our ancestors who our genes bore

Touched in many ways by the storms presence
Oh! The coolness of the air's sweetness
Heavy overcast shading of sun's ray
Great start to delightful day

All plants refreshed ready
Their flowers a host to feed
Casting forth flower and pollen
For the bees, hummers to spread their seed

Carolyn Devonshire June 17, 2011 at 4:23 PM Those showers really do seem to refresh the earth. Vivid description of the storm and I sometimes write by candlelight because it sets the mood. Enjoyed! Love, Carolyn

Michelle Mac Donald June 17, 2011 at 11:36 AM I've always wondered where the bees and birds take cover during a storm, Sara? Loved the image of the Willow, can see them tossing their leafy 'hair'. Have a super weekend! Best to you and yours, Mikki
