Hail storms


Soft fallen as the snow
On the verdure mosses
Given now to spring's ways
Sated on the earthen kilns
Rises in ghostly mists cleansed
Heaven sent in nature's vertical spirals
Earth to heaven to earth


Suddenly!
Hail storm's pelting power
Pounds the asphalt pavements
And from their shelters
Wide-eyed children wow
"You see the size of that”?

Hi Joe...so good to see you posting here again.  I still love hail..I get the wide eyed child jumping all over when I see it.  Loved the imagery you used, and then the human side of children..well done!

(giggles in delight) Oh Joe, this is sooooo cute, sweet friend, when I was a little boy I too was always suprised when I saw the hail fall and it too made me leap out of my seat! (big hugggssssss) This is a wonderful natural poem, sweet friend, I LOVE IT, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Joe, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Most excellent!  I really enjoyed this read.

I, too, love hailstorms and have been known to gather and measure them. (AFTER they stop pounding down, of course. It only took once for me to learn that hehehe)
