Dark are the clouds that move in and around,
robbing the sun from it's ability to shine.
Gloom replaces radiance.
Anger turns to rage.
The storm builds momentum within you.
Loud is the thunder as it breaks
the dead stillness of the gloom.
Direct lightning strikes with blazing sharpness.
Harsh is the storm that devastates
with it's fierce brutality.
Razor sharp raindrops slice at the
emptiness that engulfs the passing of your fury.

Such dark and harsh words in this piece of heartbreaking poetry. Many times I have been caught in one of these storms till a bright ray of sunshine came into my life. great write

Outstanding
You describe the storm in such vivid detail bringing it to life in front of our eyes. I liked your choice of language and the flow of this poem. It's is an abbreviation onf it is so it should read its in line two - a very minor criticism. Over-all this is an excellent and well-written poem that touches the senses.

Wow
Personally, I don't think this poem is about a storm in general. I think it is about your pent up feelings and trying to find a way to let them out. I know how that feels. This is a wonderful analogy. You have great flow and a perfect mindset in this poem.

Great Job
You did a really good job. Storms are one nature's great wonders and I just love to watch them and photograph them. Writing about them always feels amazing and I love to see what others have to say about storms. Great job!
