The Day the World Spoke in Anger

Bad weather!

        Turbulent day turned to horrid darkness

         As the atmosphere sensed something heartless

         Monstrous gray clouds angry and insane

         Overwhelmed sky poured torrential rain

         Brave sunshine now scared hidden cowardly  

         Mother Nature cried and groaned inwardly 

        Lightning like bright fireworks sizzled and flashed

        Explosion of thunder rumbled and crashed

        Southerly buster wind began to howl

        The world began to look ugly and foul

         Limbs faltered as trees lost their stability

         Storm raged on with no visibility

         Nature's appearance became destructive

         A tornado roared and was disruptive

         The world became sick and suicidal

         Or maybe it has reached homicidal

I was drawn to the title and like always my mind plays the what if game. Sometimes my mind keeps playing that game as I read. But a really good poem stills my mind and let's the writer's words lead me.
You have written a powerful piece of poetry.

Thank you so much!

[Neville]

you just poemed a global warning about global warming and you did it so bloomin well I'm near blown away :)

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

Thank you!

[Patricia]

Yes, love it! Great phrasing and imagery! I’m not a fan of a off setting type but it was not too distracting. Really loved the pulse of it Hugs!

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

Thank you, Patricia!

I had my share of tornadoes. Frightening indeed and ferocious. This was a powerful description of it all. You send shivers down spines.

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

Thank you!

a well written descriptive poem kathy, i loved it.
i always feel sorry for the birds with chicks in nests, the adults & juveniles can fly away. the land animals often don't have many choices in getting away.
we've had floods in the state I live in with people & animals losing lives, many people are homeless now & renting is impossible with not enough houses available. people & also families are living in their cars.

cheerio carola

Thanks for stopping by!

That last couplet really packs a punch! But she knows not what she does. The Earth can only be what she is. What she has become. Interesting how almost all of us have a poem about the tornados. And as the storms become more powerful so will our words.

I noticed you got a good dose of my poetry. Feels good to be read. But you didn't read the one I wanted you to read! And you might as well read my tornado poem too.

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

Thank you for stopping by! I shall go in search for your tornado poem!

[William Michael Reeves]

Tornado of Hope. And the one I wanted you to read is I Am A Man on my 5th page. I just got all turned around about who I'm talking to. Just like twins...try to confuse us. I bet you have your own language too.

You've certainly described some of our increasingly bad weather. A tornado just ripped through this area, then traveled east and continued its destruction. Hopefully, there'll soon be enough warm, sunny days to help us forget.

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

Thank you for stopping by! We had tornados in Mississippi also! Not right around our community, but in other areas!

[Chris Shaw]

Descriptive writing, producing such contrasts with imagery. Yes, the weather can be soothing and calm and then turn into number one enemy quite easily. A force to be reckoned with.

Lovely work Kathy. Check the final couplet, particularly last line for edit.
