Rhonda Johnson-Saunders Poet Personification

The Storm

The storm rages ferociously
Thunder, is the tiger's roar
We are hostage to the call of the wild
As gusts of wind seize the sky
Lightning tears flesh
With its sharp, violent claws
The tiger's piercing eyes stare from darkness
I hear my quickening heartbeat from our hiding place
Paralyzed by nature's fury
The tiger's attack infuriates what once was calm
