meet me in the morning

May 16, 2013 By Talya Tate Boerner 7 Comments

a spring day sings, brings joy,
simple and easy, flowers
bloom without urging
a gentle breeze stirs
the heart and soul, 
yet with no hint
of the wicked 
night ahead
 devastation
erases 
the day
bringing
despair
loss
awe

    I agree! Good concrete poem. We’re getting (so far) only rain. xoxo

    Your creativity is amazing, Talya. I like how your poem too resembled the vortex of the storm you described.

    Awesome poem, Talya, and tornado shape is pure genius. We wake up most mornings expecting a normal day, but life has a way of ‘twisting’ things around a bit, at times. I have family and friends who live in Oklahoma, and they have definitely been in my thoughts and prayers over the past couple of days, as well as all Oklahomans.
