The Storm

by Krista   Mar 12, 2009


The magic of lightning
fills the evening sky,
illuminating beauty below.
Teardrops from mourning angels
pour down from the clouds,
replenishing the dying Earth.
Clouds file into their place,
releasing their loud, bellowing
screams of thunderous cries.
The rain will keep falling,
thunder will keep echoing,
lightning continue flashing.
Storms run throughout
the dark purple sky
in a single minute.
If only life on Earth
were this easy to
replenish and illuminate.

    "The magic of lightning

    `Such a simply worded few lines, yet youve portrayed a vivid image through your words.. well done. :]

    "Teardrops from mourning angels
    pour down from the coulds,
    replenishing the dying Earth."
    `I adored this! It was an alternate way of saying that its coming from above, heaven, like they are teardrops from angels.. gosh that's amazing Krista!.. I love the word replenishing too, really adds meaning!

    "Clouds file into their place,
    releasing their loud, bellowing
    screams of thunderous cries."
    `I'm completely and utterly blown away, I love the word choice.. it just is so powerful and amazing.. youre describing a storm amazingly and its perfectly written. I love the "bellowing screams" .. what a unique way of describing thunder.

    "The rain will keep falling,
    thunder will keep echoing,
    lightning continue flashing."
    `I love the repetition of "ing"

    "Storms run throughout
    the dark purple sky
    in a single minute."
    `Although thunderstorms can be threatening, youve painted a beautiful vivid image in my mind, the dark purple sky..soooo gorgeous! I can imagine the lightning flashing and producing purple and other colors in the sky.

    "If only life on Earth
    were this easy to
    replenish and illuminate."
    `I love it, a way to reitterate, and emphasize your idea.. repetition was used in a great way here..

    Well done!
