Passing Storm Poem by Heather Burns

Passing Storm

Rating: 4.5


Looking
in the
distance
skies
began to
darken

it was
apparent
a storm
was
approaching

as it
grew near
the wind
gained
momentum
began to
howl

the trees
began to
sway
losing
their
balance

branches
became
twisted

this house
shook and
trembled

the walls
cried in
distress

window panes
began to
crack

the weeping
willow bowed
her head in
dismay until
the storm
passed.
