Rain hisses at smoothness of sand-covered stones as they crawl towards the sea. Winds shatter placid waves breaking them with a demanding cry, taunting calm waters to a frenzied crescendo. Stirring them into a rebellious upsurge, a tantrum swirling out of control Spit sprays with gleeful disdain, And the winds lash out to create projectiles of worn shells and sodden wood. Swirling sky tirades with impatient response slamming shut windows of blue. It becomes an angry face in the clouds and the trees cower. Bending in a submissive bow as gusts rain supreme, whipped branches surrender to the gale force. White-capped waves charge forth relentlessly, surging, purging all in their way until smirking with delight, they calm. The storm surrenders while despondent clouds capitulate and slip into anonymity watching blue sky wave white clouds of truce. aziza [This message has been edited by aziza (03-09-2007 02:12 AM).] |

Not sure why this is slipping down the page--I thought the imagery was grand, and a storm, it truly is a war of winds. Favorite line? "It becomes an angry face in the clouds and the trees cower." Perfect.  |

Thank you. I am so happy that you like it. I wrote it for a dear friend of mine - He loves the sea, blue skies and trees. And he is a forever inspiration in my life. A |
