Rainment of the Goddess

Darkest purple clouds

Hang pregnant in the soiled air

Fear the rain, today

 

It  doesn't look  good to me

I hide from the storm

Multiple lightning bolts fly

 

Nature  washing herself clean

Man, has evil ways

Exploiting mother for gain

 

Drowned humanity

Is what we deserve

Unwanted kittens in bags

 

Falling slivers of silver

Shivering shards of shafting

Washing us away

It seems as though I have a little more time lately, to think about something other than the daily-grind. Or maybe I am just looking for ways to forget about it! LOL Thank you, I wasn't too sure about the 4th stanza. I thought it a little...Rough for people to deal with. But Mother Nature has her ways of dealing with the unwanted, and we will be just as that! A bag of unwanted kittens. You can't afford to screw-up with her, she will just eat you up. ~ Thanks, Dave is doing better, staying with us for a few days. He has to go to social-services Mon. or Tues. so that he can get his own place. ~ Gee

Trying..

this Japanese thing has gotten me started with a little different train of thought. I have tried to adhere to the spirit of the way this form was originated, and what it means to express. I like where it is taking me, and will explore some of the other forms of Japanese poetry, and the emotions they are written for, and meant to evoke. The 1st stanza ws meant to set the mood, and I think I got it right! Thanks, love and hugs, ~ Gee

Exactly...

what I was going for, dramatic! The first stanza is one of my favorites too. As I said, it was meant to set the tone of the piece, and I think I did pretty well. This form does lend itself to the dramatic and depressing. ~ Love ~ Gee xx

Coming...

From a wordsmith like you, I accept the huge compliment. Thank you. The storms haven't actually hit us, but been hitting below our area. We have had plenty of dark clouds racing by at night, and a lot of heat-lightning. Nice to see ya, looking for your work. ~ Gee

Strangely elegant & horrifyingly true, Gee. I so feel this shattering, just a matter of time... ~ "Even if I knew the world were to end tomorrow, I would plant an olive tree today."-- Francis of Assisi
