Raining in Summer Poetry Contest
Sponsor: Ink Empress


 

Amplifying vehemence of thunder, roaring on skyline ablaze, Lightning strikes, shattering clouds, sparkling scorching haze, Blasting dry, sunstruck meadows, drenching thirsty terrain, Gushing streams, rushing thrust ferocious of turbulent rain. In realms of dimming yonder, trees whirl, shake, and sway, Grooving to rhythms of foothills, expressive of feisty ballet, As incessant downpour pelts, dispersing sweltering heat, Dancing on prairies and rivers, resounding a boisterous beat. Down the mountain, over plush valley, beyond an arid knoll, Breezing with the fleeting storm, reinvigorated vistas scroll, Scintillating in beams of gold, twilight soon brings to fore, Adorning arc amethystine, where dream-scapes violet soar. Enlightened in scarlet rays, as grimace of humid malaise decays, Revealing a glint, avid day, piercing through tenebrous daze, Misery retreats rapidly, withering anguish of a vanishing day, Engraving motifs crimson, upon tapestries once mired in gray. Reveling in unfolding scene, gawking eve’s resplendent tempo, From the street, through windows, fixating on the skylit show; Eyes enamored now applaud~ orange, indigo, smile of rainbow, Peeking through blazing halo, flaunting art of evenfall aglow.

As rain traces each flower stem and the wind whispers softly, it's very soothing, indeed. However, there are times when thunder shakes the earth and gallons of water fall from a dark sky. You've paint such vivid images with your words, Vijay, and I'm in complete awe. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Hi Vijay, such exquisite imagery you painted in a word picture in your brilliant usual style. I don't have to imagine it as we have been having a lot of rain in Sydney lately, but I still love the pitter patter of rain especially at night. Your last 2 lines particularly caught my attention 'Eyes enamored now applaud~ orange, indigo, smile of rainbow, Peeking through blazing halo, flaunting art of evenfall aglow. particularly as I love rainbows. All the best in the Contest - Hugs Maria

Vijay, your ability to create images that speak is on full display in this entry for the contest - "malaise decays," "enlightened scarlet rays," "boisterous beat." Well, I could highlight an image in every line. Love the musical references and vivid movement, the action, you describe. I am sure this marvelous downbeat of a summer storm will be on the winners list! Best wishes for the contest. Blessings!

The imagery you conjure is fierce and enchanting, capturing thunderstorms' raw power and twilight's serene elegance. Your words transported me into the tempest's heart, where I witnessed the dance of light and shadow with awe and wonder. Truly mesmerizing! - Blessings, my friend, Daniel

Vijay, this is a delight to read. I was thinking what will come next in each subsequent line and was never disappointed. I especially liked how you termed the movement as a ballet. You could be a master weather forecaster!!

"In realms of dimming yonder, trees whirl, shake, and sway, Grooving to rhythms of foothills, expressive of feisty ballet, As incessant downpour pelts, dispersing sweltering heat, Dancing on prairies and rivers, resounding a boisterous beat." Outrageously good! "Breezing with the fleeting storm, reinvigorated vistas scroll, Scintillating in beams of gold, twilight soon brings to fore, Adorning arc amethystine, where dream-scapes violet soar." A wonderful drench, I am there with you. Great poetry throughout. Blessings.

You're always so good with use of nature in your poems. Gosh, we've been getting so much rain this Spring. My backyard is a muddy mess. I actually recorded a video the other day during a downpour. It looked like a river was flowing down the street
