The Storm

The Storm

A Poem by Calissa Knox

I feel the raindrops
falling on my face.
My soul is awakened
by the wind's embrace.
My heart beats like a drum
as thunder roars.
I run faster
and my spirit soars.

I fly high into the
illuminated sky
as two angry souls,
The Storm, and I,

collide.

Wow. This is amazing! I don't usually see works on this site that I like (including my own). But WOW!
Ok anyways; I do think you could change one very minor thing:
"I run faster
"and my spirit soars."
The "and" throws off the rhythm slightly (in my opinion). I would just add a comma after "faster" and then take out "and". But really, this is super minor so if you don't like changing your work, I understand. :)
Again, brilliant poem.
Keep writing!

This is a really nice poem. I love the flow and pace to this - it reads quite quick (if that makes sense?) I feel like the reader is just swept up in the piece from the first line to the last - it's great!

you are welcome.
Quite an interesting piece. I like the imagery and the way you build up the emotion. The rhymes weren't bad either. The title drop was awesome and the singular word at the end was powerful.

I wonder though, who will emerge the victor? Storms are a primal force of nature and can be quite powerful. Is the human soul strong enough to conquer nature? Or is it even victory this particular soul seeks? Perhaps in raging against such a formidable opponent, it is really their own destruction that the narrator seeks.

This is a very thought provoking poem, with multiple avenues of perspective that can be taken on it.

Well done.

As I said, multiple avenues of perspective. The best art shows something, means something, different.. read more

Awesome poem. It's almost as if I can feel the storm and it's giving me strength. I love the ending - So simple but so powerful. Thank you for sharing!
