Dead Winter

A black cloud discriminates effortlessly, forms gauche haunting images justifying Kraken legend. Malevolent nimbostratus orchestrate prejudice quotable rain squalls, travelling unbiased verifying what xtremes yonder zoom. © Harry J Horsman 2011

ABC poems are not easy to write, but it appears you have done a wonderful job with this one.

How I love those terrifying storms when I'm tucked safely inside. You bring back some great memories of some I've seen. I wish you well in the contest Harry, too bad I'm not judging!

you have a strong 'accent' that delivers a certain kind of appeal Harry. like... walking natures.. hmm, I'm not very good in first try but hopefully will get better as I read more. thanks for stopping by and your kind comments.

This is such a cool ABC, Harry -- you did this wonderfully and cleverly --it honestly didn't occur to me that it was done in ABC-- I hope this places high! And thank you for dropping by my poems--- I have to agree with your wife, it is an art form! I believe some Japanese can even gift wrap without using tape ;) & I can imagine how thankful you all were when it rained during that time! :D

This is really great imagery here. Dark and ominous sourroundings mix with bad weather. Should do well in the contest. Good luck and God Bless, JB
