Warm Front

It lacks the tiger's tooth;
The lightning strike of fascination;
The suddenly embedded fang
Of the quickly moving cold front.
Instead,
The warm air's mass
Envelopes,
Then swallows
Like a python.

Good specific phrasing here.

Bob...This poem makes me think, yes, that's just the way it is..but, I would never have thought to say it in such a unique way.

Great metaphors used for illustrations Bob! As Martie says I wouldn't have thought of saying it the same way although I can relate to it for sure!

I understand from a friend
that your poetry is soon to end
I shall miss your written verse
if not a lady, I would curse!
Come back soon, to join the fray
bring your poetry
and with us, play
