After The Storm

Not even one last cell
of woven strength
remained rooted
after scarce crows
revisited rain eroded
vegetation.

    Wow, that is one powerful poem, Elizabeth. The fury of nature is crystallized in this poem…and in this case with a ‘one-two punch.’

  15. “…revisited rain eroded”

    This alliteration jumped out at me and put the image completely in my mind. Excellent, Elizabeth.

    I was away last week. The last eve of our stay we had stormy weather. Together with the highest incoming tide… the best that could be done by the life guards was to close the beach early.

    Thanks for your visit and link. Makes return visits easier. I like your image too – the crows not even wanting to visit…
