Patricia Cresswell Poet Free verse

Stormbears

stormbears

great swathes of rain
pushed, herded by gale gusts
from the north edging on arctic

moves down on polar bear paws
rumble, tumble dark across my sky
whispering vestiges of autumn

scatters sulky heat before them
brushes aside trees and grasses 
balls of hail rat ta tat tatting on tin roof

enter my garden blustery bold
cool lips touch the last sweet petals 
kiss away the dust of summer

soon they curl soft mounds
among pine, oak, hemlock
sleepdreaming of seas with ice palaces.

John Fleming September 26, 2017 at 1:50 PM One of the many things I enjoy about your poetry is the way you reveal it to the reader frame by frame...it makes for compulsive reading - truly it does! This really is a highly descriptive poem of excellent quality, Patricia - nicely penned! :) john John Fleming September 27, 2017 at 10:21 AM On a small scale perhaps...but not like your magnificent skies! :) Patricia Cresswell September 26, 2017 at 7:03 PM Thank you John. Do you have storm bears where you are?

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart September 26, 2017 at 1:00 PM So beautifully impacting every read :) xomo Patricia Cresswell September 26, 2017 at 7:03 PM Wait Maureen until one day this fall the sky whitens as clouds build higher and higher. You will see the storm bears tumbling over each other. It is best done on a swing. So you can lean back as you did when a child. Enjoy.
