Holding The Key

by Teria   Apr 3, 2007


Birds head home
to somewhere safe.
Clouds close in
covering this place.

As ants run and hide,
at the terrifying sound
of an awakening thunder.
Then rain starts to surround.

Pouring over top
each and every house.
As lovers cling
so tightly to their spouse.

Lighting soon begins,
as soldiers hold the key,
while sitting in the rain
awaiting to be free.

    Wonderful! Oh my god I would've never thought to write something as creative as this! I've never made comparisons like that!

    The flow and rhyming in this were excellent. I find nothing wrong with them whatsoever. The only thing I wondered about was:

    "As ants run and hide" -- ants? Out of curiosity, why ants? If I were you, I would have used another example, because I look at ants as being pretty much scared of most things in their surroundings, therefore it wouldn't take rain and thunder to scare them; they'd run away at the smallest things.

    Anyway, it was a good write.
