Form, Fade, and Die

by Jennifer RIP Lesthat Hayden   Aug 6, 2008


Cannibalistic clouds morph into one
all before the rising and setting sun.
The colors change and the clouds tatter,
but it's the same sky no matter.

The blue fades to a black sheet
accompanied by the stars we greet.
The clouds encompass the moon's light
as it shifts to a sunny day from night.

Clouds outlined by shades of gold and red
slowly turning to a dull gray so dead.
The sky roars as lightning flashes.
Into the ground each drop crashes.

The storm ends it's deadly fight
as we say goodbye to the night.
The sun returns to lighten the sky
as clouds form, fade, and die.

    Beautiful transtition from day to night to storm and then back to day ... wonderful word choice... the beauty of nature is well captured... imagery is wonderful...

    The first two paragraphs are very powerful... I found the third para a little off...
    maybe because the syllable is uneven...
    overall a beautiful write...

    keep writing..

    Jennifer,

    a wonderfully beautiful description of a nights storm. Its build up, climax and as your title states, dies.

    Your poetry always flows so well that it's almost musical. The words are more than words, they are lyrics, a song about the rising and falling of a night's storm.

    Great work.
