Your storm

Your storm

A Poem by Crystal Overmeyer-Birmingham

 

Colliding

Falling into your gravitational pull

We skirt around felled trees

And misplaced debris

As you uproot me.

Clashing teeth and tangled limbs

You flash a category 6 warning into my

Disheveled hair

Whispering of a calm

Promising relief to come

I am left to the mercy

Of your storm

Wow. The consonance in this poem alone captures the sense of the storm and allows for your whimsical descriptions. The language is absolutely stunning all around. "Clashing teeth and tangled limbs" - such a strong image. Well done!

Religiously touching, as if a storm of heaven blowing on earth to clarify the broken and debris... Your word choices are superb to convey the clearest imageries in the poem... A poem of complete surrender to the highest power of this universe...

Sincerely

Left to the mercy of your storm...beautiful. The whole piece indeed gives a strong feeling of surrendering to a higher power. Promises of relief, uprooting...almost religious.

Well done. It speaks to the senses. Disturbing in a good way.

Crystal, Your wording is magical, spellbinding. The storm theme, with uprooted trees, category 6 warning and misplaced debris is very powerful and conveys your feelings impeccably. My compliments and congratulations on this moving piece. take care...dan

Feelings for someone else can, in some ways, render us powerless to them (for better or for worse, depends on the interpretation). I love this piece because it accurately describes that, to me. :)
Very visual, very metaphorical, with a dose of grace and rawness to it as well. Great work, Crystal!

About
I am a poet by nature. Words just speak to me and color my world. I away think of poetry as painting with phases, just as vibrant and life giving as they are messy and complex. more..
