A Drenching



Weather is changing
Another burst of thunder
Like a wounded beast

The fleecy grey clouds
Now fill the afternoon sky
Turning black with anger

Like a mime artist
Barometer glass has dropped
A clown’s long sad face

Thor in his heaven
Emits his sound of loathing
Instills fear in our hearts

Without protection
Rain tumbles down around us
Now sealing our fate

  1. Depending on where you are, this can be a good thing. The droughts in your country have been pretty bad in recent years.

  3. This seems unusually downcast for you Old Egg! Storms of the soul are bad things...no umbrella helps...although they can be invigorating

  8. Storms like this, whether inside or out, are often difficult and dangerous. Like what you did with these words,

  11. Great poem- like the Thor in it. I'm miss the sound of thunder as the snowflakes fall from my grey skies.
