    Poem Commentary

    I'll leave it at that; I don't want to ruin it with more cumbersome lines.

    Bad Weather

     The air's heavy with hateful words
    And promises asunder
    Thick with anger and cloying grief
    Like the after-burn of thunder
    And though the lash be lightning-quick,
    The days bring no relief
    And though the echoes were heard,
    The percussion all too brief,
    The world cares not a lick
    For the storm weathered by one,
    Rain-ravaged and gale-battered -
    Alone to await the sun

    Nice..........I get the meaning, but I'll keep it to myself...........after every storm, there is a rainbow......one need only seek it out...

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
