Tableau Lamp

Flickering ember
against the darkness
angry rain clatters
the glass window pane
wild flowers a sigh
safe from a vexed sky.

Lovely Harry. Well written. I can see my garden when it rains as I read this. Been holding back afraid to plants my seeds and sure enough it snowed today. After this in the rainy season we can expect hail. God Bless and Happy Easter to you and yours. JB

Really nice Harry. You have captured the sense of the storm and the safety of the wildflowers inside. Love the "vexed storm" image. Congratulations on your win. Blessings to you!
