*My Late Summer*

My Late Summer

Thunderstorm in the late summer.
Like a lightning you struck
starting the rain, turning it into the river
A water fury of emotions
flooding one world of drought.

Amazing, you’ve said so much in such few words. A rain of emotions can move the world

the fury of a storm unleashing not only the elements but the emotional storm in her wake as she leaves behind a trail of tears, or a rainbow of delights..

The unpredictable fury of mother nature , how well we know her violence when she wreaks havoc on our lands and crys her tears here in Australia
Short but to the point
I liked it

Thanks for sharing this piece. For being only 5 lines, the picture painted provides images you’d expect in much longer work. Excellent job. I really enjoyed

Oh I misread. I thought it said..”leave the last line. But really, I like it better without the last line.The terseness is so eloquent.

I agree with Poetryroad. Without that last line , the poem becomes so much more powerpacked.

Nothing seems right for the world, first drought and then flood, one after another.

Love the last line, it turns and ends the poem so eloquently!
