It had arrived, that great and mighty storm,
It came and crashed across the little land
As warm and wet wind whipped across it, and
It rid the land of still and icy form.
The white-hot bolts crash down as fires rip
Across the sky; the only source of light,
They shower streaking sparks as they ignite
The isle and burn it up as the storm slips
Its iron pall about the land and traps
It, insulating, blocking out the Sun
And trapping heat – the damage has been done –
And now the steel clouds keep it under wraps.
The icy state replaced by flames’ display,
Now e’en the sea does match the sky’s steel gray.
What is the Stantonian Association of Interesting People?
My friends, this blog is dedicated to those men and women who go out of their way to be remarkably interesting. In other words, all of those fascinating Stanton students (or, in the rarest of cases, students from other schools) can join this blog to appreciate creative writing developed by us students. I, Braden Beaudreau, the creator of this blog, will post my past, present, and future works on this website, and those who join and comment will get the same opportunities. May all of you live in happiness and peace, and never forget: being interesting is the only way to stand out from the masses.

Best of the series so far. I really like the imagery and its vividness
ReplyDeletei agree, great detail, and incorporated very well into a poem, which i think is not easy to do. I am anticipating the final piece.
ReplyDeleteT'is just imagery. Good imagery, but I thought part 2 might go another way with it.
ReplyDeleteSymbolic imagery, sir.
