Hurricane

This just wandered across my head while I was listening to the song

Let the rain come out of the clouds

Let the wind toss me around

You were the eye of my hurricane

You swept me a moment, from the pain

The raging wind, and angry flood

Caused way more damage than it should

Then you came along, and calmed the storm

The new Annabelle Lee was born

Enjoying the moment that everything made sense, 

Then all of a sudden, you up and left

I was consumed by the hurricane

Overtaken by nearly unbearable pain, 

Soon I started to follow you

Like a lost little puppy, that's what I do, 

But you were the eye, and everyone wanted a piece

And after all came flocking, you forgot about me

So I step out on my own, into the storm,

Where, yet again, I can be reborn.

But sooner or later the storm will pass

And the calm will be all I have

The calm I had followed, chased the eye for

Is not too far off, outside of the storm

I love how you personalize your poetry, it shows command and strength in your writes. This is a bit different than most I've read from you, I like it a lot. You have grown in leaps and bounds from the first I read your poetry. Always an enjoyable read, this one has much backbone and speaks endurance. Nice one!

[Annabelle Lee]

thanks

This is a phenomenally furious write...from start to finish, it grabs us up and spins us like cows, or trailer parks, or whatever ;-) then lulls us into the false sense of security of the eye of the storm only to throw us back into the whipping wind. I can absolutely see how this is a metaphor for love. Superior write, Annabelle. Top notch. Keep up the hard work, girl!

[Zachary Cyrick Addams N..]

[Annabelle Lee]

If yo've RRed them to me, I'lll get to them as soon as I can

[River Page]

So, Annabelle. I think you've done something pretty cool here. I like the idea of you being born from a storm. It would've been cool if you'd related it to the origin of your name, the Poe poem and everything. (Castle by the sea....) and whatnot. Good job :)

[Annabelle Lee]

THANK YOU!!!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Some very cool metaphoric use... love is a great shelter just some people like to blow the roof off for pleasure.

I really like this one Annabelle Lee! Quin is right, you are showing much growth and maturity in your writing of late, in your subject matter, as well as in your phrasing. Sniff, sniff. Quinny, our little girl is growing up so fast! :)

[Annabelle Lee]

[quinfinn]

[Annabelle Lee]

Find me the man that invented sarcasm so I can thank him greatly
