To Resume Or Revert

Forewarned of an occasion,
figures prepare for the coming storm.
They have foretaste of this experience.
An event that inspires awe
is now a little more formal.
Just for one moment,
These figures are not repressed. 

Once the storm started,  
an age was spent in Denial of its effects; 
There was no denying this storm now, 
it had gained too much notice. 
Looking away was now pointless ,
Even the shadows distorted in fear. 
The world around entered a flux. 

The storms height hit 
A pressure point; 
The figures sheltered was cracked. 
A single drop trickles down. 
In this rarefied confusion 
a figure said  
"It depletes as it flows and will end at a point, 
this drop does not transcend us" 
"Yes it is transparent".  
At the drops point they transpire.

This is my kind of poetry. I took 20 poetry and literature classes over the years. Some poetry is easy. Tell you what it want and direct you to the point. Some poetry is like this poem. I saw the storms. I saw storms of violence and war. Sadness and disappointment. Nature is a fine teacher of life. Can't stop a great storm. Can we stop the storm of hate? Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

Thank you! I like your ability to understand how illusive my poetry is! These reviews are validating!

[Shane Hogan Poetry]

It not took me long, to see how a great and illusive poet you are. It has a good metaphor woven through it. It reminds me of the economical crisis somehow, and the fact of gambling with things (maybe money) in life. It has me pondering, a thing which I like, thank you for sharing your words here Shane.

This is very good !!!
Has a bit of old world flavor...
The storm has taken many...would be wise to turn the heart to the homeland.
Enjoyed this.

sounds like Obamacare :))) bruahahahaha!
also am drawn to this brand of expression ... as i read i was looking for graduated defining of the figures .. (just the way my head went)
i stumbled a little on this line... is it written as intended? "The figures sheltered was cracked. "
first several lines hooked me for sure ... and love the last four... i agree .. very thought provoking

A character needs defining, a figure doesn't. Think about that in context :) Thank you!

[Einstein Noodle]

Thought provoking... and could easily be referring to many of life's stormy moments.
