April Storm

by H E Losey   Apr 30, 2009


Royal purple clouds
Cloaking azure sky.
Rolling thunder peals,
Following lightning's spark.

Roiling as a cauldron
Vortex, twisting, spinning
Greenish anvil cloud
Funnels, dipping, diving.

Siren's claxon sounds
Alerting all who hear
Winds die, eerie calm
Softly the roar begins

Violence from the sky
Tornado touches down
Destruction abounds
Chaos defines the time

Fluffy white clouds
Float in the azure sky
Silence fills the air
For now the storm has passed.

    Excellent work, this was a pleasure to read. Colors and imagery were just bursting from your words and I could picture the scene in front of me. You really brought this poem alive, nice job. The flow runned smooth and I espicially like your word usage. It grabbed the reader and pulled them in, not one line was boring. I am nominating this for front page, it certainly deserves it. Keep up the great work as usual, take care.
