A Symphony of a Storm The lightning and crashing of thunder And squalls of gale force wind Leave the sea a peppermint humbug To an horizon the eye cannot see Clouds black and tall as a Gothic Hall Meet the fingers of sea going by A howling tempest of hurricane wind Sends twisting plumes of water on high Clouds flatten and swirl in a pepperment curl To the end of the symphony's chorus The brass band sits down and flags unfurl As a violin plays the last chords And away in the distance of the passing squall Is the thunder of the storms applause. |

Can you hear my "applause" over the thrunderous roar of that magnificent symphony?!? This was dynamic and invigorating ~ and helped cool me down from this oppressive heatwave we're having. Thanks! I needed that!  "A howling tempest of hurricane wind Sends twisting plumes of water on high Clouds flatten and swirl in a pepperment curl To the end of the symphony's chorus"  I love storms! ~ this one at sea was electrifying! Loved it!  EA |

Yes, I agree. Andrew, the poem is strong and forceful like the tempest that youare writing abaout . I can always find a metaphor there in your work, but you know that about me! (lol) Standing applause for this one, my friend Jan |

Such powerful visions! Storms are fascinating and frightening in the same time. You expressed this very well! Love, Margherita |

"A peppermint humbug", well I never did see anyone describe the ocean with such dramatic effects and colour as you do dear Andrew. Another treat of a tantalizing poem to mesmerize your faithful fans. Katriona  |

LOL, peppermint humbug? though I have some trouble visualizing that, those peppermint 'curls' caught my eyes immediately! An enjoyable read. |
