calm after the storm

Posted July 27th, 2008 by raskin

starkness brutal words
light radiates seeps through clouds
lake mirrors clouds calm

you paint

You present a storm of words so that we feel the brutality and then the calm after the storm. Very nicely done.

Pardon me if I am wrong but to me this piece could have multiple meanings, depending on who's reading it and their frame of mind at the time. Nicely put my friend.

Thanks Pete

your right, I think a poem can take on whatever the reader wants to see if it is done right, at least for me. I like layers, things never are as they seem on the surface both good and bad. I usually have my meaning or intent then sometimes there are underlying things that at that moment I'm just starting to realise or admit to but I think those are the personal parts to a poem. The reader has their own take. raskin
