Summer's Tempest

I love summer storms!

Summer's Tempest is in the air,
dark rolling clouds are everywhere.
Soon the sun begins to fade,
as rolling thunder pierces the glade.

The winds they begin to rise,
in a vicious battle for the prize.
The trees now in a violent dance,
as rain begins to flow and prance.

Soon the lightening starts to strike,
marking ground and trees with all its might.
Branches crack, their leaves they shudder,
once again we hear the rolling thunder.

As quickly as the tempest came,
the dance moves on to other games.
Now the trees are gently swaying,
as the wind and rain stops it's playing.

In the distance you can see
the tempest traveling wild and free.
Once again the batlle will reign,
as summer's storm prevails again.

Remarkable poem that for me touches on nature's emotions. I hope that made sense. It made sense in my mind as I thought it. ^^* Anyway I like how you pulled this together. There is more here though than simple nature's actions. I read a deeper meaning behind it all and applaud you for it.

Such wonderful imagery here!! The rolling thunder, the high wind lashing the trees as their branches cracking in the high gales, the lightning flashing bright overhead. You captured this storm and its beauty perfectly in this poem!!! Wonderful!!!

I like the poem. A few of the rhymes seemed a little odd was it intentional?

[knightcall]

i like your use of an unusual rhyme scheme that fits in perfectly with the meter of the poem. Slight quibble: this is a quatrain. I would experiment with free forms because you evidently have p[lenty of talent covered with creativity. I love the rhythm.

This vividly paints a picture of the weather I had the last couple of days. Well done! Keep on penning.
