Hurricane

I want to come in.
The din
I make.
The trees I shake.
I awake
the old fear
Of nature wild and near.
People quale indoors.
There is no applause
when the gale doth come.
Animals run
for shelter
helter skelter
seeking release
from the hurricane’s teeth.
The morning brings peace
And trees
Lying amongst fallen leaves.

    Reblogged this on K Morris – Poet and commented:

    It has been blowing a gale here in Crystal Palace/Upper Norwood today. Indeed parts of the UK have suffered much more than we have here in south-east London.
    When I went out with my dog Apollo at lunchtime many fallen leaves and some branches littered the woodland path and the pavements.

    The weather reminded me of this poem of mine.
