Abrupt change in humidity hanging all around
Subtle electricity--a humble buzz
A step back
A look to the heavens
A storm cloud rolling near---Looming as a giant tidal wave
Deep and black and merciless
A frightful raging force
A zig zag split of seams and the raindrops trickle down-- first cascading
Then a torrent
With gusts of wind to choke it down
One short stillness
Rumbling thunder
Growing loud, earth shatt'ring sound
Inner quaking of the earth and
CRACK
A cackling lightning bolt
Still more thunder
Quaking cloud-rips, crumbling skies
Ahh the rain lets up at last
Muffled grumblings slow on past
No more lightning
Less wind thrusting
Just a humid, buzzing drizzle
I watch
With hope the storm will pass

The title of the poem, "Please, No.." fits perfectly. The storm wasn't really a storm... it was figurative/imagery for the way I was feeling when I thought my boyfriend was leaving me... then the part at the end where the storm calms down but there's still thunder and a little rain... that's because we had talked it over and it all seemed okay and then we hung up and I was sure something was still not totally right... THAT is why the poem is thusly titled.
Lots of love and peace be with you,
Chelsea (aka: liquidsunshine, aka: Anita Huggenstuff, aka: Girl of the Bun)
P.S. The storm really IS over now... we are all back together and happy. ~*big smiles*~ |

I've always thought weather was rather useful as a metaphor for emotional turmoil... and this... is an excellent example of it. I particularly like the opening... the awareness of something.... building. Any reader that's ever been near a tornado will recognize this phenomenon... the change in pressure, the strange color that seeps into the sky... the... almost inexplicable, frightening, feeling of anticipation--- I got that feeling, exactly, as I read this piece. I knew, though, that you weren't really talking about the weather... which, made it all the more powerful.
Waiting for the sun to find it's way out from behind the clouds,

Nature seems to hold a key influence in your life. That's a wonderful thing. You are sensitive to the world around you and are in tune with how you really feel. Nicely done, dark, yet not depressing.
