Fury of the Elements

by Vesper   Sep 13, 2007


The winds blow strong
The cold makes me shiver
Something is wrong
I stop the car and leave her...

Black clouds in the sky
The sun doesn't shine
As if the heavens are ready to cry
With tears very different from mine...

For a moment there's silence
No sound in the air
Then it turns to violence!
The skies above me flare...

Thunder and lightning!
Nature is furious!
It is so very frightening!
She's trying to bury us!

The Tears of Heaven
Pour down on the land
The ground is leaven,
Forests turn to sand...

Fires are blazing
The end may be near
The sight is amazing
It provokes horror and fear...

Destruction is utter!
I've barely survived!
Around me there's clutter!
I'm just glad I'm alive...

    Some interesting imagery. It does start strong but I'm thinking that the mention of the car is not very effective as it was simply mentioned and nothing else was done with it. Otherwise if flowed rather well and the words were effective in displaying the imagery. In a way it just seemed the last stanza was a bit forced to rhyme.

    Very powerful with greatly created dark atmosphere. I like the rhymes in the whole piece.
    My favorite stanza is:

    -The Tears of Heaven
    Pour down on the land
    The ground is leaven,
    Forests turn to sand...-

    Keep up!
