Whiteout
by RaeLynn Teller

From one who truly dislikes the cold


Just a little different uptake on a storm


 


Whiteout


 


Skeletons of gentler days recede


As the clouds labor their birth


Screams in the light of day


Cries from Mother Earth


 


Protection sought, salvation harbored


Angry lashes bestowed


Cowering multitudes beg forgiveness


For transgressions yet untold


 


Fury rages as nature unfurls


Lessons of punishment to be learned


Every sense beaten and robbed


Retribution well earned


 


The executioner’s veil is lowered


Now blinded to our hideous sins


The righteous scream exoneration


As the cleansing begins

I do relate to this whiteout storm. Not liking storms, I hide wherever I can when seeing or hearing one. Can't sleep if in the middle of night. We have had doozies this summer already. Sometimes thinkng you won't live through them, they really shake me up lately. Thanks for the sharing times.

You have found your own unique way of portraying the storm with your verses and you have shared very well, RaeLynn. Thank you! Love and best wishes to you,

As deep as a snow drift RaeLynn, beautifully penned and thought provoking.

most enjoyable write Raelynn
I miss the snow
That was exactly why I left the Northeast
Escaping the sins of snow shoveling,
blizzars and slipping on Ice, Now I am sad
to say that I suffer as I swing on my hammock
Sipping Ice tea.
and thinking horrible thoughts
Of what it used to be.
Love & peace be with you

Every time I think of snow the image of a shovel comes to mind, I guess I am not a romantic or one fearing retribution...

Rae this is bold and strong, with great stark images of power unfolding with each line. This is definately thinking and putting your muses words to life outside the box. Bravo bravo

Wow! We only got a dusting and some icy roads. I like the double-meaning of this poem - "... as the cleansing begins." I always feel that rain and snow are good ways to cleane the earth's atmosphere and they help me invigorate my spirt, too.

God bless you. Kathy

I'm hoping it stays away from the North East.
