Poem -
Tempest
Towers of thunder; standing erect,
Marshaled in lines for the most effect.
They gather momentum; swirling about,
Threatening harm; there's little doubt!
The tempest howls at the bowing trees!
It's rage requires them on their knees.
A flash of light! it's power brief,
Strikes at home; and causes grief.
Dizzying noise and a raucous tumult!
Chaos and confusion; it's intended result.
The deluge follows; a drowning assault!
Least resistance; flows to the fault.
The calm before and after is stark,
It's power spent; no more remark.

Jim thought I'd go back a little in time and it was more than well worth the journey.
Such a powerful theme and your words add to it in poetry spades and darned good to see and where you take a reader in your sonnet's gripping lines.
Like said storm you grip a reader and never let go.
Relentless writing and thank heavens for conveying it in words that wonderfully deliver.
I'm soaked to the skin now Jim and I'll send you the dry cleaning bill :)
And thanks for all the good you unselfishly offer to so many on here my friend.
