Nimbus Wears a Black Gown

I am Nimbus, gathering my black ruffled gown preparing to race against the whistling wind. My tears threaten to come tumbling down and dark tendrils untamed; have come unpinned. My bereavement wails as thunder hammers the skies. Twin scepters of lightning flash in my mournful eyes. I twirl in rhythmic dance upon swiftly swirling winds Behold the grand majesty of a siren's release! With a sad heart I say penance for a lifetime of sins. In deep guttural voice I shall bid the storm to cease, for I've reached the abysmal depth of my delusive soul. I am enrapt by the tempest emotions in my control.

I told you before Jenna, I’d love to here a professional narrator recite these poems, in some dark fantastical Disney movie, really are that good, spellbinding, cheers David

Love your imagery. I like storms but only in the warmth of my house.

I love storms and walking in a gentle rain, but lightning and thunder are best appreciated from inside. Thank you, Victor.

Thanks, Jan. No, I've not written it as a personified poem. To enter it I'd have to edit. I'll think about it.

Thanks so much, Milt. My darker writes have been compared to Poe many times, and it's a welcomed gift to savor.
