Hurricane

Hurricane

A Poem by Alvin L. Kathembe
"

Just read it.

"

 

My mind is like a hurricane;

I cannot think above the sound

Of regrets and accusations

Being tossed and thrown around.

 

My mind is like a hurricane;

Like a thousand giants’ breath

Dark thoughts brew up tornadoes

Of hopelessness and death.

 

My mind is like a hurricane;

My thoughts and dreams are caught

In the midst of a brainstorm

Stirring as in a pot.

 

My mind is like a hurricane;

I tried to fix the wretch

I dove into the whirlpool

And got properly drenched.

 

My mind is like a hurricane;

Yet I can make out the form

Of you, sitting unflustered

In the very eye of the storm.

"My mind is like a hurricane;
Like a thousand giants’ breath
Dark thoughts brew up tornadoes
Of hopelessness and death."
This was hands down my favorite stanza here. There is no criticism from my end today. Flawless flow, magnificent structure and it strung me along well to the end. Amazing work here...I applaud this poem

This is a great work. I don't have much to say except that every line was obviously carefully sculpted and very unique. It was fantastic, it really was. I absolutely loved the last stanza. It was a great, ponderous way to end the poem, and got me thinking. (You never fail to do that.) Round 100.

Amazing. It made me catch my breath. My favorite stanza is probably the loosest one #4. I will have to read more of your writing!

This poem is going straight into my favourites you have surpassed my expectations I never knew talent can overspill its limit and with this poem you have given a real insight into your mind to where your great poetry is born I loved all the references to the hurricane itself and my favourite line being "dark thoughts brew up tornadoes of hopelessness and death" fantastic line which gave me goosebumps

I would be honoured to do a collaboration with you ?? read a few of mine see what you think and let me know

but as always I will be giving you max points for this one I wish I could give you more than 100 but it will just have to suffice
