Heavy Metal

This is for Poetry Potluck Week #37 at Jingle Poetry. The theme is "Thunderstorms, Floods and Water fury"

I wrote this way back in 2006 after witnessing nature's fury of a thunderstorm from the relative safety of my home. The day earlier, I was caught out in the bike trail during a storm, and it was pretty scary. Especially when you are among many dead and blackened trees, and you know what had happened to them.

Heavy Metal


the sky was rocking
heavy metal,
clouds bruised
blue black,
as white light slashed
across its face
it growled
as in pain.

i leaned at the window
watched
as my cigarette smoke
curled outside
to die
in the rain.
