Plea from a Wolf

Mother Nature, brew me a thunderstorm

in your cauldron made of blue porcelain sky

Mother Nature, brew me a thunderstorm

Bring in the darkness and expel the light

Make the wind howl

and the thunder growl

a low rumble in the monster's throat

Command Zeus' thunderbolt

to flash across the black-clouded sky

in a branch, a whip of white.

The rain will fall in torrents and floods,

the sky's sadness flowing from deep within.

Demand cries from the wind!

Demand him to swirl and lift.

Please, Mother, just sift

through your ingredients, give birth to a storm

The wolf's howl is drowned by the thunder,

the growls of his fallen brothers.

Lightning shall explode from the grey wolf's fur

his courage being heard.

As he lifts his head to you, dear Mother

his plea matches mine

make a storm

and free the spirits of ours.

Please, Mother Nature, brew me a storm

don't ignore this plea from your child, Wolf

Please, create a storm,

clear the skies of any bird

and listen to my words.

With this incantation I chant

to you, please heed my words

and listen to your creatures of the world.

I had a.tough time following it. I read it again and it made more sense, but i think im still slightly confused. But excellent form if writing. I enjoy anything you write. Whatever you do always makes sense in the end, although this one was a little harder to understand. I really liked how you used the god Zeus in the poem. It was creative and added a lot of color (at least i think so anyways) keep up the good work Sophie! I cant wait to read more of your amazing work.
