Ralph Sergi Poet Rhyme

Storms

And now the season has begun
the darkened skies have covered the sun
the sound of thunder is interspersed
by lightning striking on the earth
the winds increase in motion swift
they sway and bend the limbs of trees
and then there is a gentle breeze
a torrent of  rain cascades 
on mountain crests then rests
into a shallow ford a chord 
of music of wind and  rain
mingling into a Wagnerian fugue
the rain subsides into lakes and ravines
the sun reappears to a vivid scene
Nature’s fascination has taken form
All is well with God after the storm

Robert Nehls July 24, 2014 at 1:32 PM This is a great poem, Ralph. It is a wonderful picture of human life. The storm, tossed about with strong winds and sometimes gentleness and finally all is well with God. The meter and rhymes are very well done and I enjoyed this one, my friend.... Robert.

Ralph Sergi June 29, 2014 at 7:17 AM Hi Andrea: Thank you for the comment. As a child, I can remenber having nothing bur cats in my house. Years later my daughter bought a cat (MAXIE)and we had him for 10 years. I'm pretty tough but it was sad seeing him put down. Since then I don't want to re live that experience.

Andrea Dietrich June 28, 2014 at 11:46 PM Great wording of the events of a storm. Awesome ending, all is well in the end. About cats, how many have you had? I've had many through my life. Half were aloof and half were quite nice. I had a few that loved sitting in my lap and purring. The one i have now does it quite a bit. I just love my Razzmatazz. Did you hear the latest? People who prefer cats are smarter than dog lovers. You did not need me to tell YOU that though.

Barbara Gorelick June 28, 2014 at 5:51 PM Very nice! Like especially the Wagnerian fugue,,BG
