The Sunday Whirl ~ Wordle 554
Thunder woke my sleep Lightning turned my room translucent As if I were dreaming There is order in the world I am told I freeze, this is different There in the light I could see forms, people Are they on a journey? passing through our world? Guided by the power of lightening I search their faces, wondering If there could be someone I know It is spellbinding, I am drawn to them They are pointing north, as if trying to tell me something So much in a flash of lightning I took it to be a sacred moment If it is something I am meant to know It will come to me… ©AnitaDawes2022

The Sunday Whirl ~ Wordle 503 ~ #Poetry
The grounds beneath the thunder began to shake
The man fell to his knees
In the open, he began to pray
The odds of a lightning chase
Were too large to number.
His knees sank into the rain soaked ground
Dishevelled, time marched by
In a stat of fear, he tried to count his blessings,
the bounty that lay before him
His mind twisted with fear, he could see none of it
The dark wick at the back of his mind, flared
He remembered his pills
On the soak filled ground, he blessed the peace
The little white pills would bring
Within a minute, he could say let the thunder roar,
the lightning crash, he can stand now!
the cold material of his trousers clinging to his legs
the searing pain as lightning struck his back…

Colleen’s Weekly #Poetry Challenge
HAPPY HALLOWEEN WEEK
Colleen has asked the experts to put a poetry writing spell on you! This is her 200th Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge! Happy Poetry Writing!
This month’s theme is:
Dark
Towers
Lightning strikes
Feathers flying
While chasing angels
with frozen, trembling hands
Thunder rolling through black clouds
Dark rivers run past ancient walls
Wizards broken wand about to fall
The illusion of power built on lies…

No More… #Poetry
No More
When the night falls
Doors close all around you
The world is still
Thunder breaks the silence
Lightning strikes
Branches fly through windows
Sea defences break by oceans roar
All hell let loose,
the devil has come to call
There is stillness no more…
