Lightning (Acrostic)

Looming destiny approaches
In ominous billows of obscurity, as
Gusts of winds awaken the weeping willows to
Heighten their limbs
Tempest pellets of heaven’s tears, pour with
Nature’s fury against a scorched earth; whilst
Illuminating streaks of iridescent rage flash with
Numerous thundering proclamations, that
Godly wonder is at hand

Outstanding
This poem is full of rich imagery that brings the lightning alive in front of our eyes. I can imagine an angry storm taking hold. I loved the metaphors and the over-all flow. Best of luck in the contest.
