A highly descriptive poem with a subliminal theme which works in concert with the storm itself.
A clever and well thought out poem.

Shifa,
a poem which merits several readings in order to grasp the gist of what you are saying. Words beautifully chosen which stir the imagination to go further and conjure up more of what you have written.
An excellent poem
Thank you indeed for this.

A love of the written words shows me that this is a sensuous poet who enjoys the interplay of thoughts - I sense a detachment somewhere in the interpretation of events . With respect Jordyn.

I like the way this zooms out; a man, nature, mankind... the apocalypse. And "His hand became covered with poetry" is a such a great line. Loved it.

The worse thing that can happen is when we have to get up to reach the remote, which has been left somewhere else in the living room. Such a humiliation.

Thanks to Shifa, Abdul, Po, Julie and Gary for the kind comments and likes.
Anton Bruckner was not Mozart or Beethoven, nor probably even Mahler. Some of his music can be plodding and repetetive. But at his glorious best (e.g. the adagios of symphonies 2&6) he produced melodies touched by genius.

Love this one Cindylee! Brilliant work of art. I live a few miles from where James Dean was born. The community has a huge festival the last weekend in September that normally attracts thousands of people from around the world. Not so sure that will happen this year. Perhaps they will flock to WOL instead. Write on! ?

A salutary warning and reminder that calm water can hide unseen
threats that can reach up and entwine limbs in their tendrils,
drawing and holding their victim(s) closer beyond life-giving air.

I certainly concur with positivity in life. I wonder though if there can
be circumstances in which the mental faculties suffer an aberration
via some chemical change brought on by stress (es) of a certain sort.
I say that because years ago I endured a degree of depression
due to a conflict of inner and external forces. In my own case I
made a conscious positive decision to repeatedly instruct myself
that it was a passing thing that could be dealt with - and over a
following period that approach worked and the phase duly passed,
never to return.
However, without that attitude or perhaps in far more serious
circumstances, the pressures to end an "unbearable" existence
might prove too great to resist for some unfortunate souls.

In pursuit of justice it is noble to be the voice of those who for whatever reason are not able to speak for themselves.

Thank you Shifa and Paul. My poems are not very popular but I don't mind. They'll be around long after I've departed this mortal coil. This poem must have made an impression to persuade you to explete Shifa! Often,I prefer the company of dogs to that of humans (present company and few dozen others excepted).
Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.
