After being awakened last night at 3:30 by the sound of thunder, very loud and close thunder I thought this poem would be appropriate for this week poetry corner.
| A TEMPEST - An awful tempest mashed the air
BY
Emily Dickinson |
|
An awful tempest mashed the air,
The clouds were gaunt and few;
A black, as of a spectre's cloak,
Hid heaven and earth from view.
The creatures chuckled on the roofs
And whistled in the air,
And shook their fists and gnashed their teeth.
And swung their frenzied hair.
The morning lit, the birds arose;
The monster's faded eyes
Turned slowly to his native coast,
And peace was Paradise!
