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...

Well enough left alone.. sounds like u know when to stop in more ways than just one..

Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
