Tempest Scale

the breeze
delicately
kissed me
into the night
turning black
is this the way
a sky behaves
tenderly touching
then attack

heavy is
shouting noise
light flashes
then thunder
calm surprised
by this stir
wind falling
fast under

glass table
top breaks
force against
window pane
outside
a storm rages
anger pounds
in the rain

weather machine
of nature
jealously strikes
in squall
vastly I
have been
humbled
reminding me
I am small

There's no way to tell what the sky is thinking.

Very good Helen

With your permission
would like to include this in my Word
file of poems by others.

I don't know why
yet I felt a sense of
Sandburg smiling in the audience.

Again very good

John

Helen -

the breeze
delicately
kissed me
into the night

If these words aren't romantic I don't know what is.

Also, all of this write is great, but these words caught me...

I can't read this without bringing my experience with Ike into it. *S* But that just leaves me more in awe of your talent... I love this, especially the last verse!
