The Storm (a poem by JEG325)

elements clashing

air water and some fire too

danger is looming

---------------------------------------

winds blowing strongly

clouds moving along quickly

a sky in motion

---------------------------------------

as rain crashes down

the daytime becomes dark

is doom upon us?

---------------------------------------

sudden sunshine glows

with nature's apology

a lovely rainbow

I love this ! You’re so good with your words

Right now in the UK we’re having stormy weather too 🤣

Also I relate to it with how I’m feeling right now

Thanks for sharing 😊

It blah and warm here in Tampa. 80 today. I'd even like it if it rained, H!

I'm glad you liked it though!

A rainbow as nature's apology. I like that. Good job, John.

Thx, L. I didn't sleep much. Feeling depressed and homesick for Ohio, fall and snow....Sad, isn't it?

Go out and shovel some sand and see how your body feels tomorrow.

Don't think I would have traded it for a tropical storm or a hurricane either, L. Or even for longer, more humid summers.

Where is the variety here? What breaks up the weather monotony?

Embrace the subtleties, J. The mornings you can see your breath. Followed by a lazy, warm, breezy afternoon. Thunderstorms on the horizons. Torrential rains. And then your apologetic rainbows. There's different flowers at different times. We're in Strawberry Festival Season now.

I'm sorry to miss your Ohio. Why not take a visit back?

Sue wouldn't like it. It's cold there right now.....

I wouldn't blame her. Brrr. Maybe if you go over to Publix, they'll let you sit in their freezer for a few hours. 😎

Wonderful storm, sweetie! The haiku format you've chosen has worked out well with your writing skills. I love this!

I didn't ask where the rainbow came from. Since quite a few storms have rainbows, I always assume they're from God.

God is strong in my life and he brought me the greatest rainbow he could....a wonderful lady who also loves God. What an awesome end to a lot of my life's storms!

So touching, so truthful, so sincere. :)
