on thunder clouds, he rides, bold and dark, carrying the weight of storms, each time he speaks, lightening blazes. She lies high upon soft white wisps, lightness about her, the sun's rays shine right through, each time she speaks, gentle breezes waft and wane. when they meet, it is hidden, within thickness of gray and white, they nurture the earth, calling forth spring eternal, in rythmic outpours. warmhrt |

WH: Hey Grasshopper. I liked the imagery here as well. I think you could do better than "dark" and "blazes" in the first stanza, though. I like the sound of "gentle breezes waft and wane". I was unsure, at first, about the use of "wane" to describe diminishing wind but after a little bit of thought, I think it works well here. Later.  Jim |

I, too, enjoyed the imagery. This poem has a good sound to it. I am a little confused: Are the two separate characters supposed to be different fronts that meet to cause rain? I am a little lost on the exact meteorological context (mostly because I don't know much about the weather, heck, I don't even watch the weather on TV). I really liked the last lines (very romantic). |

Thanks, jen, glad you enjoyed. Jim, I had just about every other word that would fit after lightening ... Didn't really think about dark ... You pick em, teach, my brain is nearly nonfunctional right now. Thanks for reading, and commenting ... I always appreciate it. Kirk, It's not about weather, hope you enjoyed it. warmhrt |

Cassie, So nice to hear from you again. Hope you're doing well. Tell John we miss him around here, and for him to quit playing computer games instead of writing poetry. He's such a good poet. Kris |

I love to read and write poems about God's creation, whether they describe "Mother" nature or human nature. The interesting and beautiful poem you showed us here is unique, because it presents what I would call a bidirectional kind of metaphoric picture of human characteristics intermingled with global natural phenomena. You might want to read my poem "Monsoon Rain", which I posted a while ago. Willem |

I see in your poem the coming of Spring with all its trappings--joy, love, gaity. An enduring theme in mythology. You've cleverly personified it as a romance. The first stanza is particularly picturesque--reminding me of Stephen Crane's Dark Riders. (S.C. is my favorite poet.) |

Willem and Vincent, you have both captured the essence of the poem well, Vincent even moreso. Thank you both for your kind comments. warmhrt |
