Earth got suddenly denuded of all life
With a morose dullness so rife
A tint of grayness crept over heaven's vault
All movements came to a freezing halt
The wall clock didn't toll the midday hour
The babies no more blabbered but did glower
The hen didn't cackle after laying the egg
The earth for some mercy seemed to beg
The birds didn't twitter
The leaves didn't flutter
No music came out from the fiddle
The telephone sat silent on its cradle
Nature seemed to have lost half its mirth
A mournful silence overpowered the earth
But shattering the ominous silence
Gun shots were heard at a distance
The siren screamed long and loud
Announcing curfew on unsuspecting ears wild
Behind the façade of a deceptive calm
No one suspected the threat of a fierce storm
Oh Nature, who on Earth can your dumb presages read!
The sudden calmness between the Gun shots and war drums is definitely an in indication of a big storm in the door. The turbulence through which the earth is moving today possibly the nature will now take an action. A very nice apprehension is drawn in this poem.
The mind of the man is creative and it manipulates whereas the the mind of certain animals has a practical reflex system that alerts them to respond to the urgency of situations. The earth which burnt for millions of years before it got cool enough to allow life on its water first and then on land is a paradoxical thing. The eerie silence it has to bear at times is parallel to its existence not withstanding all the odds. Mother Nature is the beautiful synonym of our planet that has to now and then let the man know of the things in waiting... A fine write indeed Valsa madam.
Written with a creative and compelling cataclysmic creativity wonderfully worded my friend!
With inspired lines that reach out to warn of the oncoming storm, as nature holds it's breath with an ominous silence! Superb write!
A great imagination, a valuable message, a lovely write from Valsa the great.
Your message reached to your readers, the helpless readers, but the leaders don't care, the selfish and heartless leaders.
It is a beautiful expression of feelings against the unjust activities going on in the world and the war zone are that I understands and concerns expressed are great.
Reading this poem I truly can feel an ominous silence all around me hinting a virulent storm. The way all unjust are occurring all round the earth, that ensures a menacing storm. I can hear an alerting bell through this lovely poem's voice.
I wasn't prepared for the full force of this poem. It is very powerful and moves with inexorable intensity. I had just read your FAIRIES poem, and I think there was fairy magic occluded my vision. I didn't realize that farewell to childhood beliefs had actually revived them in me on an unconscious level. And I quoted Ingeborg Bachmann's poem there. It actually belongs on this page. Your eloquent words are having surprising effects tonight!
