[hometext] => we had some terrible storms the other night, it was as if the wind couldn't stand the thought of warm, dry summer weather,
[bodytext] => Wind is intolerant and jealous of summer So much so Last night she exacted a fearful revenge. Roaring a vulgar tune she swept down the hillside, Across the weeping moor snapping saplings clean in half, Whip cracked and somber echoed a lonely cry. In the garden she struck a sinister pose Clawing with twisted fingers at the aviary door Until the birds, worn down by fright, retreated indoors. She squared up to the greenhouse and the door, Caught in a frightening gust, burst its rubber womb And fell to the wooden deck with sickening thump. All night she waited as if to seek a confrontation, A confrontation we were unwilling to make. Then across the way she tormented the trees, Until, with a loud shriek, they fell across the power lines, And wind roared a wicked laugh, clapped a loud applause As the cables crossed and spat fire into the night air. And all around the cables popped and banged and flashed Tinting the air blue and grey with acrid tears. And the rain sheeted down, the wind she raged on, Blinding the eye of the hills that sat emerald black and smoking. And all the time we waited, sleep a distant memory, Until dawn choked the sky crimson and wind, With a final cry of a satisfied wretch, Headed for the awakening far horizon.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
