It’s the body of thunder
Whose prayerful arms
dance in Allah’s breath;
It covets nothing
but a piece of land
onto which its clawing
mammoth feet fearlessly
Cling. In godly stance
It guards our
Little world.

First off, YOU HAVE BEEN HOODWINKED!!! Just wanted to get that off my chest!! This poem was excellent and the picture added that little bit of something that pushed it over the edge for me. Excellent job. I have a tree like that next to my house and we thought it was dead, but come to find out it's pretty much healthy as a horse!

i thought i saw a sturdy tree

i read again and saw it was
a fearsome thunder sound
i must say dear cookie zeal
this poem is just profound!

thunder is a god that walks the earth here
This was alegoric and picturesque, of thunder in its embodiment,
as it walks with big feet , coveting a place onearth as it resounds, imagery here colorful. this was new to me
its uniqueness and modernity is refreshing . -
This is sweet and simple with a lot of meaning! Its amazing! ~ You DID do an amazing job! keep up the good work

Great Job I Love It

Good
This was a powerful poem, scrutinous in its examining of nature. I was always taught lightning came from the ground up! But this poem taught me otherwise. Great images, once again very powerful. -
embarrassed a bit Yes. I did the sketch--it's not finished yet. I'm a beginner. Thank you!

thy words find an inspiration
to touch ...where a breeze finds the heart and leaves one in wonder!
keep penning on one stroke at a time!

I felt that this poem really captures the essence of thunder...very whimsical and playful...well done...Did you sketch the tree too?
-
this was wonderful put into words, grand write that you have here my friend
-
Interesting format, I must say. I like how you described the tree, you made it much more than just a tree, you made a wonderous creation of God that we must cherish. It really made me think...it is really a wonderful piece.

Good thoughts
Facinating. To draw this praise from that simple sketch, how far out. I am glad to see something with an Islamic flair. I truly love the spiritual writings of the Sufi. nice work here. -
Absolutely lovely. Created an exquisite place for the reader to explore, thank you for enabling me to read such a beautiful piece of poetry.
