The Time That Soon Cometh

....and that time is not soon enough for me..... I really enjoyed writing this one, given my current circumstances...

 

The time that soon cometh

Brings with it the storm

The gathering gloom

Upon April morn

The clouds thick and heavy

As they loom o’erhead

It brings sense of darkness

It brings sense of dread

It will cup all the peaks

It will blacken the land

With this time soon coming

This time near at hand

When skies shall burst forth

With tremble and crack

With flashes of lightning

As skies to turn to black

And clouds shall break open

With icy cold rain

It will darken the trees

It shall make the floodplain

It shall drench this whole world

In darkness and tears

And bring sense of gloom

Not felt here in years

The time that soon cometh

Brings with it the storm

The gathering gloom

Upon April morn

WOW! I like this this write alot, I think I like this one of yours the best, It just speaks for itself, written well.

[David Lewis Paget]

A heavy sense of foreboding, admirably achieved. With Global Warming upon us, and Nostradamus prophesying the end of the world - not to mention the Mayan Calendar ending abruptly in 2013, perhaps that sense of gloom is merited.
Good stuff.

Ah, impending doom mixed with a touch of cold rain. My kind of poem! Niccely written, James.

[Beautifully Tragic xPoe..]

Haunting, I agree with the other reviewers, this seems to be about death. I always enjoy reading such dark poetry... wonderfully written. a great read.


Great Write.

A dark storm on the horizon... in that calm before the storm we pause to think about what is coming, and how bad it might be. But we never really know until it hits us. This could be a metaphor for death, but also for the trials we face. Very foreboding.

[Str8jacket]

This is amazing. It has such powerful imagery and the flow was consisent and neat. It paints a picture so dark but powerful. I really enjoyed reading it :)

Very visual, and very haunting. Death is the only word i could use to describe this piece. Very haunting. Thank you for writing.

That's an excellent peace Jason�Wow, I could feel that emotions as if I was there. Your choice of words like "clouds will break open with icy cold rain" sent chills down my bones. Nice work.
