Notes About The Poem

Hail

The darkness seeps wet
stains on tissues of regret
inked pores secrete rain.
A blurred dust of pain
edging storm clouds all absorb
the hail of the Lord.

This one feels biblical to me, like the Egypt plague. I like Dane's idea that it's a tattoo though. All in all I love the dark overtones.

Hi Deborah, Sometimes your poetry really makes me think. At first, I thought you were talking about a tatoo. I've heard that they are so painful. But the last two lines took me on another thinking spree. Great poetry. Love, Dane
