I was inspired by E. E. Cummings' similar piece that was written about a grasshopper.

Author's Note

The placement of words is intended to create a visualization of the storm :)

Reviews

[Jake Staffeld]

The format greatly displayed the formation of a storm, but it also made it harder to get to the content of the poem.

[Judy Ponceby]

I love the addition! And the ??? s are perfect, because we all wonder when the flickers happen if they will. :)

[Chris Smith Welshpoetcs]

What a great format, you definitely display the storm well.

[FJ Davis]

Often thought ee should have called himself "he he"--would have been funnier and, of course, more masculine.
This experimental effort seems to have gone quite well, Ben. I not only like it very much, I respect that you were able to do it so well.
Maybe this an area you should more thoroughly explore.

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

Ben, I love this work of art! Fabulous!

[Judy Ponceby]

Awesome!!! This was fantastically done, and it was like a storm, swirling, updrafts, so many things happening at once. Well done Ben! :)
