Exceptional a Kyrielle poetic form Approaching Storms by Sugarray77      Poem of the Month Contest Winner

Horizons filled with blackish ink; marauding storms are at the brink. Low rumbles echo groaning pain... approaching sounds of coming rain. A silence blankets swaying trees; all birds have flown from canopies. Then swishing branches sing refrains... approaching sounds of coming rain. White lances flash ~ flung from the sky; and cracks of thunder shake on high. The boiling clouds can't hold the strain... approaching sounds of coming rain. Loud thuds of droplets hit the dust; flung out before a windy gust. Sporadic spatters strike my pane... approaching sounds of coming rain.
