The Storm

by Brittany C   Dec 4, 2006


Clouds roll in from the east,
Across the violet sky,
like waves out at sea.
Full of hidden strength
and beauty underneath it all.

The thunder rolls,
and the ground quacks,
as lightning of purple,
flashes across the dark sky.
The wind picks up,
and tree branches bend,
till they nearly touch the ground.

Then comes the rain.
A sprinkle here,
and than one there.
Then it comes with vegans,
in slanting sheets that cut flesh,
and so thick that none could see.

Then just like that,
The storm is gone.
And all is still,
And fresh once more
as the groaned soaks
in the water like a sponge.

    Very nice read. It was definitely a change from your usual type of poem, and it was quite refreshing.

    There was one part of the poem that really just made me think "HUH?" and it was "and the ground quacks," the ground quacks? do you mean quakes? as in like an earth quake? cause I've never heard of an earth quacking. I've seen some quacks....but never heard the earth being one. hahah. :D little humor in the comment.

    I really like this poem and gave it a five. Other than the quacking earth this poem was very well done.

    5/5

    Stanza #3 line 3 "than" should be "then"

    and also in stanza 3 you want to keep the same verb agreement and change "could" to "can" to keep everything in present tense

    and stanza #4 line 5 "groaned" should possibly be "ground"

    but again this is a very good poem just some things that need to be edited and all of these errors i'm sure i'm guilty of as well so nothing to worry about.

    In Stanza #2 you have "quacks" and i think it should be "quakes" just a small typographical error..we all make them.

    "The thunder rolls,
    and the ground quacks,"

    other than that good poem

    Does the ground really quack? Lol. That's like a duck silly. ^_^ You mean quake. :D And you mean ground not groaned. :)

    Other than that I loved picturing it all. Reminds me of a poem I did. Someone really disliked it for some reason though. I don't see why I liked mine quite a bit and so did a few others. it's called When Black and White is Beautiful. Seeing how you do a lot on nature I'd like you to check it out. Well I enjoyed this one. It was fun to imagine and so true! Isn't it weird how sometimes storms clear up just like that *snaps*? Well I'll give this one a four. Good job.
