The wrath is upon us
magnificent storm
thunder roll, crash
sky lights in the night
cyclone racing thoughts
rain pelting
cosmos belting
hail blanketing
fast and furious
loud and fast
thunder smash
star glazed showers
galaxy cleansing
raindrops redeeming
brilliant terror
brilliant delight
til dawn touches softly
with her rosy fingers
offering reprieve
in daylight…
amazing poetry and photography! wow.
Thank you….like a lot of people, I love a storm but also fear it…
yes, me too. I am afraid of really nasty weather, but love a rainstorm.
I love thunderstorms. ‘Twas told to me by my mother that I was born 90 seconds before midnight in the middle of thunderstorm at Bedford General Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio. Always storming in Cleveland. Love the use of description and adjectives in your poem. You feel like you are there, looking out the window, watching the light show.
Thank you, I have had quite a bit to work with as we have been having several thunderstorms this week. How interesting you were born right before midnight…I was born a couple minutes after midnight 🙂
I knew we were kinship spirits! Nice to meet you again … in this life.
Midnight. ..The magical hour 🙂
That’s us! White light sisters.
Those thunderstorms can be a bit frightening… but who doesn’t love a rainy night. Beautifully written!
Thanks, we have been bombarded this week with storms and lots of rain. Great sleeping weather, though 🙂
yep!
Aaaand this is why I am a fan 🙂
Thanks so much, I’m glad you enjoy my work and I certainly appreciate your support!
Sometimes we are grateful for the dawn. It seems more scary a night but more beautiful too.
Exactly….to me it is both. I have had a lot to work with this week 🙂
Phenomenal!!
Thanks so much!
Gladly. Be well. 🙂
The spectacle of the sky, illuminated by lightning, is really great. Your verses have managed to reproduce it
Thanks so much. .I’ve had a lot lot of opportunities to practice this week, we may need a boat soon 🙂
😀 Pleasant opportunity 😀
The rain, thunderstorm and ak the emotions which go with them were powerful and as brilliant as your poetry, Lana. 🙂
Thanks so much, Robin!
The rosy colored hues of a reprieve following the storm was also a great way to transition from the storm to peace and calm. Thank you, Lana.
Thanks again Robin, I borrowed that one from Homer/ Shakespeare. ..”the rosy fingered dawn”…. aren’t we thankful for the treasure trove of great literature 🙂
Yes, the famous and sometimes not so famous writers lead us into being better writers and I am thankful for their inspiring us through the ages, Lana. 🙂 Thank you for sharing who was your inspiration! Hugs!
Sure thing, Robin. I appreciate your kind comments and support of my blog…hugs!
God is so powerful!
Yes indeed!
the poem has a lot of energy and music, such as in these three favorite lines: “loud and fast/ thunder smash/ star glazed showers.”
Thank you. We have some very vibrant storms in north Texas that I used for inspiration.
when a boy in grade school my family lived in Liberal, k\Kansas, not far from north Texas. i’m an old guy now, but i still have vivid memories of those storms, so violent and so beautiful.
Oh yes, you know what I’m talking about. They can certainly be rather intense but also very beautiful to behold.
