Hey. Here's an idea take this and forward to your local meteorologist and have them read it as a forecast when rain is nearby. Maybe... they'll get ONE forecast right. OUrs can't.

Very good! I good see and hear everything as you described in beautifully worded rhyming lines. Good meter and rhyme. We had a storm like that yesterday.

    Hi Yvonne. Thanks. I heard from my Dad in Bryant that you all had a big storm. I guess it will get to Virginia in a few days... we always seem to run two days later. So glad you liked this Kyrielle.

There is a musical feel and flow to your words. You also have a vivid use of words in which the reader can see and feel the oncoming storm. "The boiling clouds can't hold the strain" is a perfect line that shows nature in action.

Wow! I can feeling the storm approaching! You always do such a spectacular job of describing rainstorms and this one is full of suspense. You used the repeated line to build that suspense from the silence to "White lances flash ~ flung from the sky;
and cracks of thunder shake on high.
The boiling clouds can't hold the strain..."
Virtual six!!

    Hi Helen. I am grinning with delight that you liked the Kyrielle. It's been a while and I hoped I did ok... you wouldn't believe the editing and re-editing that I had to do to make sure I got out the glitches... like I said, it's been a while... thanks sweet friend.

Oh, Melissa, How I enjoyed this poem. I could hear and visualise the storm approaching through your descriptive words. How well written your Kyrielle is written. Ulla:)))
