Prophesies by seers may be derided and prophets may be lampooned. But time may prove them right" By Poet.
There was none to listen to him. His words were like: -A cry in the wilderness that broke and shattered on woody trunks. -The howl of a lone wolf that rose in the dead of the night. -The cry of an infant that told the world, it was hungry. -The cacophony of discordant orchestra that left a jarring effect on the listeners. His words sounded meaningless, to a world that spoke a different tongue. With no receptacle, his words like heated waters evanesced into vapour and billowed upwards, like coils of smoke to freeze into clouds. One day it rained down, quite unexpected……. with thunder and lightning!

The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. John 1:9?-?13 NIV

Valsa, I like your P word choice. A stunning new layer is revealed in your poetry as a result of the high-quality imagery and excellent phrasing choices you used. This is an incredible thought, best wishes with the contest

Yes, to be a prophet one has to be proven right even if it takes a long time for their words to come true. Sometimes people got rid of them before their truth could be known or they did not want to hear what they were saying. Sara

A Clever choice of a "P" word Valsa, and the descriptions as we flow through your poem of the howl of the wolf and cry of the babe, and then the unexpected storm. I like this a lot. Well done.
