Notes About The Poem

 I wrote this poem sitting among the trees in thinking of the weather in its many forms and mood swings

Silhouette of Nature


Draped trees, etched in crimson fire,
Sun’s last kiss, as day retires.

Scattered clouds, in dazzling dress,
Raindrops hang, a jeweled caress.

Rainbow’s Bridge, across the blue,
Violet-green, and reds anew,

Sahara’s winds, a whispered sigh,
Hot sand dances underneath a fiery sky.

Snowy peaks, in crystal light,
Flakes like stars, taking flight,

Frozen frost, upon the pane
Winter breathes, a chilling reign.

Warm mist rises, soft and slow,
Kissing earth, a whispered flow,

Fog ascends, a silent shroud,
Nature’s secrets whispered loudly.

Hailstones ping, like needles fine,
Tiny tines, a silver wine.

Thunder cracks, a lightning’s tear,
Gray skies weep, the winds hold fear.

Hurricanes, with winds that moan,
Ocean’s wrath, upon the stone.

Trees uprooted, in twisting dance,
Twister’s fury, given a chance.

This silhouette is a stage so grand,
Nature’s drama is close at hand.

From fiery dawn to frozen night
Her beauty is vast, her power, bright.

So let us stand in awe, and humbly see,
The silhouette of nature, wild and free

Hello Kissie Banks, so nice to meet you. In the evening when it is windy and the thunder starts with the lightening, It sparks light. the light it shows is bright. Thundit puts me back to sleep. er makes a loud noise, waking my cat and myself. Yet i like the sounds it puts me back to sleep. Enjoy your day my friend. /Darlene/

A well written poem . You have keenly observed nature and transformed that observation well. I could hear the thunder feel the frost as I absorbed your words
