Before The Storm Poem by Tan Pratonix
Before The Storm
The scattered leaves
shook with life
and flung the air
with swirls of dust;
swept the trees
and swayed their heads,
brushed the skies
with thick grey clouds;
layer on layer
menacing black,
moving in waves
and waves to attack;
an army rushing,
horde upon horde,
whirling and swirling
the dust on the road;
leaping and tearing,
snapping dry branches,
banging the windows
and doors;
with a lull...
the wind
holds
its breath
for the storm.
I think the -ing forms are just perfect for getting it across. I really liked it.
nice description; I especially liked the stanzas about the 'army'.
Wow... That was nice. I agree, the stanza about the army was great.: -)

Wonderful! This is a great poem. 'Before the Storm' is a fantastic read. L
Splendid Tan! I can hear the sound of storm the way you described........the secret whisper of life.......I love this poem......your poems show maturity.
Good metaphor. Very constant and intense build up. I was waitng for the storm to break, but I'm glad you left it where it ended. A great poem.
I enjoyed the build up, gives off clear images, well done: -))
