Paloma P Poet Imagism

Fickle Cloudburst

Reminding yourself to breathe
as the stratosphere is falling,
imagine verses tumbling
midst downpours' dissension
sans sentimentality's
         loquacious language,
and the land is left barren 
    as verbosity disintegrates 
and emotions wholly perish
    'neath fickle cloudbursts
               of poetry's extinction

Chris Green October 10, 2016 at 10:13 AM "'neath fickle cloudbursts of poetry's extinction" I really liked that line. You create a scene that feels warm and spring-like but chills like a dark winter's eve. Paloma P October 10, 2016 at 10:23 AM I love your poetic review, thanks so much Chris. Imagine?
