Cane of Hurri

by Maple Tree   Sep 1, 2012


Timber limbs

falter like rain

between a stormy eye

of a ruptured sea,

whisked away

upon a debris

of a moonlit

catastrophe....

    I love the title; so creative and unique, the concept of it - breaking it apart because 'hurricanes' do break things is brilliant.
    I love how sea-debris-catastrophe rhymed. It flowed so smoothly and elegantly. A very enjoyable and peaceful poem to read, despite being about a hurricane, of course. Perhaps it's what the 'moonlit' added. :)
    Keep writing,

    Soooooo creative with the title Andrea!!

    Queen of nature is who you are. Ou penned the whole atmosphere of a hurricane in those few words. It had the effect, the strength, the idea, and the depth of a hurricane.

    Well done :)

    Oh God.. why didn't I read this?!

    Your poem is just so damp, it made me feel like I'm in some European wood.

    First, I didn't understand the title, then I told myself A Hurricane? Yes I guess... because there is this stormy eye which is a beautiful description to tell how nature is angry at us. Well, the last line also sums it all up.

    It's a great nature poem, Mother Nature ;)

      You are correct Abed :-) I took the word Hurricane and split it up Cane- Hurri

      because hurricanes violently "break things" so I felt like breaking the word in two and switching them.... thank you for your comment, made me smile, and I love the nickname..giggles!
