Storm
by Brian Dickenson (Age: 73)
copyright 03-15-2006


Age Rating: 7 to 127

 
From blackest skies the thunder roars
Like creations cannons booming.
Lightening flashes rend the air;
Apocalypse riders looming.

Stately trees bend or break,
As the wind whips up a storm.
On such a night of natures wrath
Tragedy is born.

Wild things cower their dens
As tree limbs fall around
Rising river floods the plain
Many creatures drown.

Power cables fizz and snap,
Writhing like electric snakes.
Sparking, arcing, like things insane,
Until in the end they break.

Welcome fingers of red dawn appear,
The long long night has ended.
Some survived, but some did die.
On luck, so much depended.

Slowly, slowly, the storm abates,
Risen waters fall.
Survivors emerging from their dens
Give thanks, one and all.

I like this poem it talks all about storms and how to prepares for one. And what to do when the power goes out.

In the wake of Katrina and many others, I'm sure this hits home to more than not. For me, I always like to liken it to something more than the physical and tangible. I see the storms of life brewing, and dangers lurking there, and the ones that make it through... grateful that they have. Sigh... I'm so complex... I know. LOL

Hi Brian,

This is a very well written poem. I love how it was constructed, and how the rhymes weren't forced. I also loved the imagery and metaphors featured here, like the lines about the power cables being like electric snakes, and the lines about the 'figers of red dawn.' Great Job!

It was very fitting for me to read this at this time, as it is thunder-storm season in Alberta. I usually love thunder and lightning, except when it gets a little too close.
This is a very nice, descriptive piece. You always have good rhyme and rhythm, and that is always to my liking.

I, too, could feel this storm swirling around me as I read. Captivating.

Very nicely written, in style and form, even if I don't get totally your way of thinking I dig it, Great write, good job, thanks,

Gina

Hey Brian,

Another winner. I'm not surprised. Your structure and punctuation were always flawless and your rhythm is better. A really good metaphor on nature.Thanks for another good write.

Wonderful rhythm, loved the last stanza!

I don't get the chance to read like I use to, but I was lucky to stumble on this one by you. This was nicely done and the storm was in my head while I was reading this. Your write was full of emotion and I loved every word. Thanks for this my friend and I hope this finds you well. Anthony

It's amazing getting to know and grow with each other here at this website, seeing how we develop into real writers, improving our skills. Your rhyme and control of rhythm has improved so much over the year, unforced and natural, as heard in this poem.

Seldom do I give a five rating, but this deserves it hands down. It is stirring, powerful, face paced fierce in formula and delivery. It sweeps the reader along through the torrents of vivid images...really pulsating, then slowly dissipating, like the end of a storm. Original and creative. Excellent work Brian.
