...in my boxers...

Suffocating cloud layers,
colored dark, yet,
full of life.
Deafening waves of thunder,
followed by scars on the
blanket of the sky.
Blinding light,
here!
Then there!
Follow it,
ground up,
a glorious display of power,
mixed with the whiplash water.
Suddenly -- calm.
Soft, watery caresses on my skin,
thunder in the distance,
lighting hidden in the clouds.
I blink.
It's begun again.

I like it... it's good. Details are good and it's a unique read.

I haven't read this one before, I must have missed it the first time. I'm not sure I like this one all that much, it's not like the stuff you've written recently, I guess I'm getting used to your change of style or something. I did like this part though:
"Suddenly -- calm."

I like the way it just caused me to stop midpoem and then switch to a slightly different mindset. Good stuff on that one

"Whiplash water"...mmmm..liked that, has good imagery. The piece was definitly something I would choose to read again it was so captivating and in such a short poem, something I've tried and fail miserably at! Anyways I really enjoyed this piece I didn't see the first one, must have missed it, but the second one is beautiful!

I missed this!? Once again what cloud am I floating on? MY eyes followed every line gracefuly and didn't miss a detail. The sudden halting, the calm.... it caught me by surprise but then I wanted it to start anew. Yes, I give 2 and 1/2 thumbs up!
