Alright Brian, are you reading me like a book or what? Seriously, I have such a short fuse these days. I calm it in my writing... thinking about your blog I am realizing maybe I should just let it all out. Great writing as always, extremely creative. Smiles from Lolita

Some folks fear creating ripples in "the pond" and never speak out. Not you, Brian. You are an inspiration to us all, and I have learned much about poetry forms from reading your great work. Thank you, Carolyn

This is Brilliant as ever...The amazing images left in my mind linger on and on...Thunder clouds may be the growing anger inside or upon ones face before they explode..after reaching a breaking point.Sometimes it is necessary to express your thoughts and opinions out loud otherwise no one is really listening...Or they may not take you seriously..You have to make yourself known and let them see you are not a push over...Very Powerful Senryu...God Bless, Always Tyesha

I cannot but say this explicit anger made into poetry, and well done. I am commenting on the imagery of the thunder as the voice. God bless you

Brilliant image you put in my mind! I can see trees singing, birds squawking as they take flight...all making their opinions known!! ~ love this! ~ Carrie

Sometimes thoughts, beliefs and opinions must be spoken loud! For within a whisper, how many can truly hear them? And yet, who is to say that their opinions are even truth?! Yet, perhaps, a morsel of food for thought?! And only time shall tell the tales of whether or not beyond this!? Excellent write of many possibilities here Brian!!!:):)
