Sweet spring succeeds severe snow time,
Sublime season of plants rebirth,
Sunshine mild and warm greets the land,
Seeds and flowers sprout from the ground,
Sweet-scented scents pervade the air,
Stars and silver moon vie to please,
Smiles settle on every faces.
From Hoth to Bespin,
it’s been a turbulent ride.
Swapped frozen tundra
for a city’s slick hustle.
Built to survive the severe.
we were confident in the corn maze
until we reached the tall black ghoul
garbed in wrinkly clothes
with a face that could frighten a devil
we sisters were the brave ones
our brothers hid behind us
terrified of whatever was about to happen
the ghoul held something in his left hand
was that a skinny buzz saw?
Two of the boys took off screaming
the other sister and I held hands
as we approached the monster
ready to give him severe words
for scaring our big brothers.
I cannot shut my eyes,
for there you are,
I cannot open my eyes,
for there you are.
You haunt my every thought
I wake up in cold sweats,
because I dreamt that you hated me.
I daydream about us being together,
And I'm devastated
Because I know it will never be.
I try go about my day as normal as I can,
But I keep seeing your figure appear, EVERYWHERE!
How do I escape you?
Do I even want to?
Long-range forecasts
predict outbreaks of pretty weather girls.
In the event of short-range predictions,
some ugly guy may be substituted.
In the case of an emergency,
mice may seek the sheltering wings
of owls and hawks.
By midnight, the total destruction
of garden gnomes is anticipated.
Survivors are asked to remain
in their bathtubs
until absolutely clean.
It came in waves, the wind and rain,
With just a clap of thunder,
But while it raged, it seemed insane,
Surroundings ripped asunder.
Then it would stop, the branches stilled;
The sky would start to lighten,
Forecast promises fulfilled,
With just enough to frighten.
When bam! The gusts would start anew,
A downpour set for drenching
And there was nothing we could do;
The storm was all-entrenching.
It isn’t over as I write,
Though now’s the time for pausing.
I wonder if we’ll see tonight
What damage this is causing.
Beneath California's boundless skies,
Nature roars with all her might,
In thunderous tantrums that arise.
Severe storms, where heavens rupture,
A dance of chaos, wild and free,
Electric bolts, a vivid rapture,
Unleashing fury upon the sea.
The skies grow dark, the winds arise,
As thunder drums its fearsome beat,
Rain cascades from the sullen skies,
In torrents, mingling with the street.
A symphony of majesty lies,
As lightning strikes and thunder crashes,
The spirits of nature harmonize.
The salty winds bellow in crescendo,
Whispering secrets of the ancient land,
The crashing waves, a wild innuendo,
Intertwined with chaos, they withstand.
The palm trees bow, their branches sway,
In reverence to the raging gales,
The hills and valleys drenched in gray,
Quenching thirst as water prevails.
Within the storm, there exists beauty,
An awe-inspiring force of unity,
Instilling reverence and humble prayer.
The earth rejuvenates, free from pain,
And life resumes at a gentle pace.
If is committed a heinous crime
God will catch at the right time
The whole World will come to know
His real anger God will surely show
He will give a perfect check
For that unholy, dirty trick
Punishment He will heap
Adversity one must reap
Frauds deserve great penalty
As the intention is faulty
Never will God offer to forgive
They can never peacefully live
Always there will be a threat
Happiness they can never get
They will be strongly beaten
Until their bodies go rotten
In their chest, God will kick
Due to fear, they will go sick
God will strangulate their throat
Like humans cutting a goat
God will accept not any apology
And will not fall prey for eulogy
Gaja is a storm Word gaja means elephant It's a Sanskrit word
Severe cyclonic storm Origin in gulf of Thai Lankan named it.
Fani in Bangladesh Pakistanis named Titli which means butterfly
sins seemed so severe
wish they were no longer here
all would disappear
My Horn Religious Poem of the day.
Severe clear skyline
casting the brightest of lights
on the souls taken.
autumn fast faded
watery eyes winter came
efface all brown hues
Winter seems to be so severe;
Had tormented while it is here;
Spring is now and am impressed;
Up things seems to be all dressed.
Another new year did reappear
While my horse thinks it is *****;
Each flower has began to bloom;
Swept leaves away with a broom.
Remained alone in my room day by day;
No longer on earth will remain and stay;
In heaven beloved God would receive;
Behind all of my loved ones did leave.

Our "blue judge" released a rapist
to protect him from the Wuhan flu
He didn't obey the 6-foot rule
and of course he raped again
because that's what rapist do.
