I continue to share verse as I get my new book, Tiger Claws, ready for release. The title is Sometimes. I have not had an easy week at school.
Sometimes I feel like lightning
Cold front colliding
Warm front rising
Energy clashing
Dash upon plus
Striking
Wrath
Sometimes I feel like a volcano
Lava churning within
Cap of rock bolted on
Steam pushing, pushing
Ground rising
Land shaking
Boom!
Sometimes I feel like an earthquake
Pressure mounts; land grinds into deadlock
Glass trembles on the shelves
Energy shoves for release
Buildings shake
Land drops
Crumbs
Sometimes I feel like a cyclone
Whirling about the land
Devastation follows
Tornado Alley
Cows flying
Trucks wrecking
Balls of fire
Debris
Sometimes I feel like a hurricane
Slow gathering out of deep waters
Fuel for organized chaos
Swirling, piling, driving
Howling winds
Storm surge
Waste
