Open to Attack

It shows how even nature suffers from harsh weather

The woods judder today!

There is substantial sadness; in which,

nature is undergoing stern smacks

Wildlife! Plant life!

Dazed in a dull gray grievance

confirmed by the sun's abandonment.

Adamant ire in the gray, thick, and

shapeless rain clouds; when all

at once! Luckless trees are

dealing with oppressive downpour;

and nearby, sodden ground is useless.

The cold pulls through the piercing

rampant winds, when huge strips of

bark are unsympathetically peeled off

vibrant trees slashing the tender heartwood.

The thunderous rumbles are indeed an

intimidating intrusion; along with

persistent, potent bolts of lightning.

The day was a pleading for this marked

anger to come to a sudden stop, therefore,

creation is simply seeking relief.

Much of this weather we have brought onto ourselves unfortunately. Here in Nor Cal it's going to be up near the 90s again drying out the land even more so the wildfires here have more fuel to burn. An when we do eventually get rain massive mudslides are due to follow. Our fires here are effecting other states as the smoke travels eastward. I have no doubt it is the reason why mother nature is in such a rage. Thank you for sharing your poem.
