Being the storm

Being the storm

Sing another winter tale
As summer ends by lonely grey
Never have you felt so empty,
never have you looked so pale

Small pools of mirrored wishes
All dancing in your eyes
Stolen star glow ceases
To bring you joy in sighs

Because autumn has gone by
And you only saw one yellow leaf
Because the waters have receded
But you never felt dry and clean

So let the winter come
And may it bring you some relief
So let its dance begin
And lay you down to sleep and dream

Being the storm,
you saw not many rainbows
just smelled the ground as you sheered off
Being the storm
You have cast lots of shadows
And parts of light
Playing through the clouds

But this is it
The bard has fallen now asleep
And please don't sing
His journey has been long and dim
Or maybe tell a winter tale
Of white picks
And lonesome ways
Bury his dreams down in white snow
Then lay down, wait for the afterglow...

    Very original, I don't think I've read a poem like this before. I like how descriptive you were and that you used all the seasons

    i really like that verse,
    good comparisons and use of language.
    overall very good.
    keep up the great work

    Strange, but different and nice. I liked the imagery and the words, they sounded good. The only thing you could have done would be to put it across more clearly that you're talking about how it is to be the storm. But thats really just a matter of style, and not really a mistake.

    Good Writing!
