Notes About The Poem

La Nina

she is impending, the most ferocious beast, s w i r l i n g and t w i r l i n g taking no prisoners, doesn't care if you pray to the west or east, nor your colour or creed. this tornado of torment, upon your misfortune will feast, even if you're awake or dormant - if your soul is kind or full of greed she is converging this t o r r e n t i a l t y p h o o n frigid fury full of venom, doesn't care for crowns or thrones, nor how strong your house, will blow off your rooftops, remove your pedestal, tempest of turbulence, brutal breaths breaking branches, demolishing trees, demon of destruction, mistress of menacing massacre, she is anger, she is rage. she is advancing, w h i r l w i n d of w i c k e d n e s s chaotic queen of chaos, causing carnage upon her path, her call is a tempest of thunder, her cries laments of lightning, hurricane of hatred, she is truth, she is Mother Nature's scorn - she is wrath - she is revenge.

Very poetic display of the once indiscriminate turned to vengeance, giving lessons of death to an increasingly bloodthirsty world. Called by a Tempest of Thunder. Perhaps the blood of the innocent cries out for correction and begins to level the monopilistic playing field in game restarting dash of playing board under the fridge. Though like you alluded to in your previous poem, " the innocent also suffer ", ....the fruits of evil, the wages of sin and death."

A natural recurrence apparently S.O. one which is getting more powerful on each cycle, Mother Nature’s revenge on mankind for all our misdeeds, hell why not! we are pouring more and more fuel on the fire after all, he has a little sister (La Niña)) who’s getting somewhat temperamental too, superbly written poem and message, cheers David

Gosh! This is scary. I am scared of such storms, whats a nino? This is so powerful and spine tingling really. The depth of your word weaving truly left me in awe captivated and wanting to read till the end. I love your alliterations and flow of this and also how you’ve written “ mistress of menacing massacre, she is anger, she is rage.“ hah! When i was a teenager i used to call myself that, i think many can resonate and this can be actually interpreted in so many different ways and thats what

I love about this! And i know few that constantly fights through storms, within their mind, its a battle they cannot rise from so easily. I love how youv paired so many lines in this. Especially “ whirlwind of wickedness,“ “ tempest of thunder” “ laments of lightning, hurricane of hatred, she is truth, she is Mother Nature's scorn -“ soul hitting really and so clever how you write! There was a 6.2 magnitude earthquake somewhere near maldives so to read this is a bit freaky for me but i loved it! For the uniqueness and depth and i love dark poetry as much as your romance! Sending you light always

Oh this is a quite powerful write, dear Silent One.. El Nino and her wrath has been depicted in an impactful way here, especially with such turbulent imagery and evocative depth..Something about this also speaks of a metaphorical interpretation, when pain turns limitless and loses consciousness, leading on the path towards destruction.. It doesn't matter who or what comes in the way. "she is truth,she is Mother Nature's scorn -she is wrath -she is revenge" This conveys so much..A brilliant write

As always, your wordplay is spellbinding and really creates a haunting ambience for the reader to actually feel those vulnerable instances.. "tempest of thunder", "mistress of menacing massacre,she is anger, she is rage" Absolutely impeccable.. A fave indeed, felt every word & is resonating in ways too..
