Gloomy Skies

Falling hail
Through the gloomy skies
The dark clouds
Formed beyond
Alarming is the despair
Crying with thunder

I haven't seen this form before, Russell, but the image you created sets quite a mood. Sometimes it's hard to rid ourselves of those "gloomy skies" that seem to follow us in an alarming way. Love, Carolyn
