Notes About The Poem

For Craig's contest. I first wrote and posted a similar poem in 2023. Since altered it to post this version. 1/7/26.

Ceraunophilia

"Such comfort in precise chaos. Waiting for the unexpected, I join Beethoven to immerse myself in wonder when thunder and lightning unite." Quote by the poet.


Boldly dark and pure as the cold night's stormy throng.
Thunder has begun it’s familiar fifth symphony song.
Leaving the listener unsure what to expect all alone.
Beethoven switches to a lighter tune instead of his dark tone.
A tinkling as the rain begins, he uses spiccato to give perfect light.
A less grand repetition of the original notes as winds take flight.
Building in anticipation until the climax of the first theme.
A solo of horns, a transition with the loss of the sun’s beam.
The sky produces an aqua hue by each blinding lightning flash.
Thunder roars, the sky now a soft pastel hue as wind and hail crash.
Beethoven offers bridges to weld the grandeur of his blizzard prone play.
Frost is forming turning the sapphire hue fading to a pastel bouquet.
Following, suspense of his opening the piano takes us to strings.
Full orchestra, Da Darrr Da -Darrr Da Darrr Da -Darrr  it springs.
Tempo lighter, airier which is juxtaposed with the timpani drums.
The soft gentle snow, now hurtled by deafening wind, silence comes.
For the second stream of Beethoven’s sonata allegro its making way. 
Cyan-tinged icicles decorate the surroundings, peace resumes her sway
Season’s storm has freshened the landscape with her blanket now warm.
Yet nothing can compare with the brilliance of the raging thunder storm.
