Of Coming Storm

The Spirit’s rise of coming storm, Spoken before first fertile drop. How did I know? It seems the norm. The Spirit’s rise of coming storm. Thunder, lightning, and blust’ry form. Husband says, he didn’t hear a drop. The Spirit’s rise of coming storm, Spoken before first fertile drop.

There is a lot of difference between two people's perception of things. You knew in advance of the impending storm. It is intuition and heard the sound of the first fertile drop while your husband didn't hear it. Great, triolet, Kim.

I love the first line, 'Spirit's rise of coming storm.' Could refer to so many different kinds of 'drops.' Let's pray for 'fertile drops' in the days ahead. ~ Gershon

We've had a lot of stormy weather even some where there is a lot of thunder but no rain. Then today rain without a warning but it was a short rain with terrible humidity afterwards. Sometimes we get storms in our lives that have nothing to do with the weather, and they are very hard to handle. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

This is beautifully haunting and cyclical—the repetition adds a sense of inevitability, like the calm before a storm we feel deep in our bones. The interplay between intuition and nature is striking, especially in the line “The Spirit’s rise of coming storm.” It feels both mystical and grounded. And that subtle irony at the end—“he didn’t hear a drop”—adds a quiet, human contrast to the speaker’s deeper knowing. Wonderfully crafted.

I like your triolet and the twist at the end: Husband says, he didn’t hear a drop.
