Notes About The Poem

T-Words Poetry Contest  Sponsored by Constance Le France   8/7/23

Turbulence

We cannot calm the turbulence in the open sky.
We must bear with its disharmony as it passes us by ~Quote by poet

Tempestuous moods erupt within, a tumultuous severe agitation
Brings forth undulating vibrations, exploding with a pounding pulsation
Retributions unholy, big blue-sky echoes with conflicting resound
When the balefully coarse maligning words mercilessly expound
Somedays gliding my way high through a stream of consciousness
Taken back by the waves soaring low to a destiny that seems endless
My soul, wrenched and wretched, lets loose from my clutching mind
Over the ocean, tempest-tossed above knotty seas less than kind
Excuse if you will my slashing unabiding, dismissive demeanor
Never shall I find where tides gently flow, and grass that is greener
Clashing and clawing through dark gathering clouds are my fate
Exit you my friend from my world and my presence before it’s too late

I though turbulence in air is known as CAT. This poem brings other interpretations of turbulence, Scientifically and emotionally sound poem. Great winner.

A lot of turbulence going on here Anaya, but expressed through a poets eyes, you bring another dimension to the tumult, never a dull moment each line dramatically penned, and a hair raising warning at the end, I’m outta here lol! Brilliant cheers David

Wonderful poetry Anaya, disharmony disturbs the peace, we must do our best to make it cease, always before it’s time to sleep… Belle
