The Tempest

The growl of cold fury
     Growing deeper by the second
     Growing darker
     Growing ominous
In a whirl of colours
                      wind
                            sleet
   Hail destruction and rain.
Moist over the ocean
   Cities falling to its wrath
As energy drops and subsides
   Fade from this dissolute path.
The land lay silent
     Still and complete.
Quietly awaiting
    The tempest's next deceit

This is the first time I am reading your work and I like it. This poem is well written. As I read it I feel that a black cloud is descending over the world. I can feel the tempest's next defent. Well done and well written. Have a nice day, Jancarl
