Like a Storm - 2/24/99

Like a storm love moves in
Rapid change the rain begins
Bright blue skies turn to gray
Lasts for days after day
Fights begin thunder arrives
Lightning strikes the clouds roll by
The rain is hard and turns to hail
Time to decide when to bail
Thunder’s crack like canon’s fire
Accused of being the true liar
Time to flee and run to cover
Must stay true to one another
Lover’s quarrel like storm may break
Mine was pure yours was fake
Blue skies to gray good times to bad
Thinking about the times we had
Before the spring storm rolled in
Love’s like a storm that must begin

First post....nice. Using a storm to describe love creates an image that works for a lot of us.

Thank you everyone for the enthusiatic comments about my poem.  Not only is this the first poem I posted in the forum, but it is the first poem I have ever written.  I wrote it back in February of 1999 and have been writing ever since...I now have my own archive of 50 poems so far...thank you all again...

Holden,
I liked this...good metaphoric content, and a nice, smooth flow. You have quite a few poems already written, right? I'd like to hear more.
