Paradise Blessed Poem by Ernestine Northover
Paradise Blessed
Rippling blue, sky's reflection,
Sea and river, winds direction.
Water lapping, briskly flowing,
Twinkling facets, motion growing.
Sunshine glinting, sparkling array,
Shining sunbeams, jewelled ballet.
Waves disturbing, turning grey,
Lightning flashes, sparks ricochet.
Gloom descending, thunder cracks,
Whipping twister, storm attacks.
Lashing downpour, terror felt,
Endless tumult, hailstones pelt.
Calmness gathers, squall complies,
Raindrops ceasing, uproar dies.
Gentle breezes, warming air,
Peaceful nature, silence rare.
Azure welkin, zephyr caressed,
Abundant freshness, paradise blessed.

Beautiful words chosen in this descriptive writing...You write well. Thank you. Jeannie.
This is wonderful Ernestine - superb contrasts of the calm before and after the storm - extremely visual with lovely unforced rhymes. Love it. Justine
I love the way you styled this one Ernestine, like the before/during and after of a storm coming to rest in the silence of solitude, beautiful reaful feel to it Take care Love duncan X
