In a Dark Sky

In a dark sky, an eclectic mix stirs
atmospheric storms and persistent winds.
Corrupting clouds with mottled mist deters
the full force where earth-bound lightening ends.

The raging quarrel within the sky trends
toward an unsettling sunrise that blurs.
Its vibrant color provokes and pretends
in a dark sky, an eclectic mix stirs.

Heaven meets hell in a banter of slurs.
Thunder bolts thrown, as harps make amends.
A cacophony of sound that transfers
atmospheric storms and persistent winds. 

Loud blasting burst of screeching crackles tends
to mark the blaring argument that stirs 
with sullen seditiousness, and portends
corrupting clouds with mottled mist deters.

Solemn skies with gray, granite clouds ensures
that torrential rains with whirling winds blends
and blurs the power that surely refers
the full force where earth-bound lightening ends.

Then Susanoo changes his mood and mends	
the skies together again but confers
with gods and goddesses alike then sends
winds and thunderbolts as his messengers
			in a dark sky.

Hi Linda One of your best. Glad to see you using the sonnet form. I don’t because I do not understand Iambic pentameter, maybe..never will? I know rhyme, syllables but too much I do not know to attempt a sonnet. It can’t be that hard! Huggs, Pangie,xo

This is a masterpiece, Linda! Just exquisite! I had to google Susanoo. That myth sounds interesting. I'm going to read about it. It absolutely inspired lovely poetry.
