The calm before the storm...

by Celrien Abi   Jan 22, 2007


The gentle winds began to blow
The trickling rains began to fall
The rippling waters began to rise
Noone worries, noone cries.
The raging winds blew harder
The drenching rains came down faster
The rushing waters rose higher
Still noone worred, noone cried.
The winds, the rains, the waters
Came at us with astounding fury
Lashing out at everything around us
People fell, people died.
The whistling winds had stopped
The pouring rains had ceased
The deadly waters ran steady.
Now everyone is worried, everyone cries
The wrath of nature is hard to understand
But we all know God has a plan
We must be strong for those who have lost
but thank the lord for those who cry,
they must still be here, they didn\'t die.

*i wrote this about the 11 people that died in the terrible storms that hit the coasts of the uk*

    I really like poems about nature and this one is no exception. I find that the Nature section of Poems and Quotes is where some of the best poems are found. I like writing Love poems and find that I incorporate many nature themes into them. There are a lot of poems in the Love section but there are only a few that really shine where in the nature section I find the opposite – most of them are very good. I enjoyed your poem and hope to read more from you in the future. If you like trees you can read a poem I wrote called – The memory of my shadow. The poem Searching also has a nature theme - I wrote this way too long ago when I was a kid and have thought many times to rewrite it as an adult. But somethings are better left the way they are no matter how badly you wish to change them.
