 Uploaded with ImageShack.us they say gods give us signs could be the howl of a beast in a faraway distance might be something as simple as a leaf falling before its time sometimes it's the still of the night the wail of death's aftermath maybe it is the smell of a rose bush in the dread of winter could be most anything you have to pay attention but on the day the storm came one that would be remembered forever the gods were not talking that day they were roaring ©March 23, 2012 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (03-28-2012 07:06 AM).] |

Sometime a gentle nudge just doesn't cut it, does it? I shiver to think of having to bear that kind of wrath. |

Yes, Jerry, I would be very careful when it comes to "the gods" - don't think they're as reliable as God. Enjoyed the read though. Helen |

I'm not all that positive any of the gods are reliable, Helen. I appreciate that you read and commented on my poem. <><><> JL, thank you very much. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Jerry I am not a religious person.. But I do feel the presence of a power I do not understand. I think these are the Gods you refer to in this poem "the gods were not talking that day they were roaring" Katrina, I am thinking.. Indeed the energy entities were in full control in the time period of that awesome display of natural power. I enjoyed this poem, and believe that the same power allowed you to write it. |

Hello Ice. Thank you for being here. I'm the same as you, non-religious, but wondering if there is a higher power we know nothinhg of. The Katrina guess is half right, the other half is personal. But, yeah, I was thinking Katrina too. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
