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.

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.

Excellent ABC, Harry. I find these extremely difficult, but you've made it look so easy! Love it

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
