    QUIET STORM

    Silently it billows

    Like soft, feathery pillows

    Punctuating the clear, blue skies,

    While surreptitiously it belies

    The turbulent interior

    Of the serene exterior

    Of this always shifting,

    Forever drifting,

    Endlessly searching,

    Not so wise old

    Hapless soul.

     

    And like the clouds,

    So too internal shrouds

    Eventually

    And temporarily

    Dissipate, and a moment of calm

    Does permeate the invisible, quiet storm.

    A discerning young man, I see. Watching a parting in the stormy sea called our future; but always understanding what the invisible storm is telling us........... It is obvious despite the lenses; your vision is clear and may your quest end successfully. Gosh, young man, you truly give the meaning to a 'man of all seasons'....

    conscious, A true poet with strong verbs to cast a storm about and ample imagery, rhythm and rhymes. You portrayed so much in such a short piece and often that is difficult! ginga

    Thank you so much for the feedback. I really appreciate it. Sincerely, Carlton

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
