Storms [E] Seeing storms as a child, then as an adult. |
Greetings again, I understand how the rhyming couplets can be seen as trite and limiting, and it’s probably good to diversify, but here with this particular poem they go perfectly with your theme. The first thing I noticed, which is a relief on my iPad, is the Verdana font. Wdc’s Comic font comes across as thin and spidery on iOS, which is unfortunate because it does look very elegant. Your theme is universally relatable, as I have experienced many strong storms in my lifetime and I’m sure we all have. The unnerving power of a thunderstorm becomes a metaphor of the other types of difficulties we face in life. As children, we don’t realize how much trouble there is in the world, and things which weigh heavy on an adult’s heart don’t impact us in the same way when we are younger. One has to trust in God for protection against the storms; no matter what we’re going through, He’s always there with us, ready to show the wonders of His grace and might. Even when we know how dangerous and destructive the storms can be, we can still step back and admire them because we have faith in the One who controls the weather. Thanks for sharing, take care and stay safe in the storms My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
