the night
looms black, heavy
with rain, distant flashes
of light illuminate the sky,
thunder

Off topic today for NaPoWriMo/GloPoWriMo Challenge Day 25. I did the exercise eking out an extremely long diatribe of drivel…I wrote and wrote and wrote and keep writing as instructed, but found the resulting verse rather self indulgent and verbose. It is storming tonight. I settled on a familiar form, the Cinquain, for this, the 25th day.

I agree that simple is more effective vehicle. Art lease one doesn’t have to spend time trying to understand the meaning.

What a perfect description of just such a night. Perhaps you’ll get what you want out of the other effort as it’s simmered. This works.
