Nature's Assault


penetrating with violent force
howling rage and anger
you came

a sound track of wailing
ripping, tearing
shredding and splintering

a weakness seeking missile
twisting limbs broken
intent on destruction

screams
trailing and whimpering
to the apology of sun's caress

  1. This poem did a great job of comparing the picture attached to it with the words you've written. There definitely was an eery feel to it, and sounded kind of like a poem by Poe to some extent. Loved it.

    so strong at times i felt the roof might come off....and it sounds of an animal trying to dig its way in....

  3. We had a fierce wind here the other day. You capture its spirit beautifully here, "a weakness seeking missile" indeed! And the sky in that photograph--stunning! Thank you.

  4. I get the feeling of that raging wind as a metaphor for something even more sinister... an amazing picture too...

  6. This is what winter feels like... Combined with the migraine I've had all month. Hope that doesn't mean you're having pain too. Love this image....
