Poetry Pleases: Storm
…magnificent in rage
ripping, roaring, rousting
a monster in action…
Miriam McAtee puts words to the destructive will of a storm.
I am Storm
known for teasing and terrifying
upsetting and unfurling
as I rout and roil.
I am Storm
easily aroused and aggressive
everything in my path
twirls to destruction.
I am Storm
magnificent in rage
ripping, roaring, rousting
a monster in action.
I am Storm
I will not be beholden
cities here, habitation there
all bow and flatten before me.
I am Storm
creating despair and havoc
heaven and ocean heave and roll
as I thunder onwards.
I am Storm
then I met Peace
glittering sapphire eyes, silvery fluffy mane
Dazzled……..I retreat in awe.
I am Storm
but she is Peace
she shimmers and glows at me
and I am subdued and becalmed
