Richard Lamoureux Poet Personification

Shifting Shape

There’s fire in those eyes
Flames flicker from finger tips
Her voice is forged from thunder
She has such shapely hips

She’s not quick to anger
Still you do not want her scorn 
Her’s is the soul of a warrior
Heaven sent not mortal born

She is the thing of legends
Impossible to understand 
With subtle smile upon her lips
The sky she does command

You may call her nature 
A mother to us all
Winter spring and summer
multicoloured in the fall.

Stare upon her beauty 
Suckle at her breast
God’s offering from the heavens
Is she a curse or are we blessed?

Suzanne Delaney September 1, 2024 at 3:07 AM I love this one, Rich: I view nature as a female spirit. I think the storms come from Thor. Ha ha SuZ Richard Lamoureux September 1, 2024 at 1:08 PM Thanks Suzanne, it seems we are mutually agreed. Blessings Richard.

Gershon Wolf July 20, 2024 at 9:21 PM Pretty fair description there, Richard. She's the 'Stormy Temptress,' a Shakespearean figure! Richard Lamoureux July 21, 2024 at 8:35 AM Thanks Gershon.

Ink Empress July 14, 2024 at 6:36 AM This is such a unique personification of nature. Some men describe women too in a similar way, clever write dear richard. Always a pleasure reading your work. Richard Lamoureux July 17, 2024 at 11:00 PM You are kind. I appreciate your visit.

Michelle Faulkner July 13, 2024 at 10:36 AM Mother nature in all her glory, both fearsome and awe-inspiring, not one to disrespect or she will let you know~ Richard Lamoureux July 13, 2024 at 1:52 PM Thanks for reading.

Hilda Greenhough July 12, 2024 at 7:06 AM Oh, I see. This is a timely poem about the resilient woman, Nature. I agree. We can make earth angry. But earth has the upper hand. Richard Lamoureux July 13, 2024 at 1:54 PM Indeed. Thanks for reading.

Daniel Henry Rodgers July 11, 2024 at 6:52 AM Hello Richard, When I first started reading your poem, I was wondering whether this was a Greek Goddess, a human or... After reading, I was really impressed that my mind was creating while reading and it came to light by the end of the poem. That is a sign of a great poet. - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel Richard Lamoureux July 11, 2024 at 7:07 AM Blessings to you as well.

Eileen Manassian July 10, 2024 at 2:20 PM Awesome! You did this one proud. Richard Lamoureux July 11, 2024 at 7:07 AM Thanks, Hugs Rick.
