Unfinished Business #1

Andrew Charles Forrest

Unfinished Business #1

 

The blackest cloud of Tuesday

has just come into sight

It’s pushing out the light of day

and dragging in the night

I’ve never seen a blacker cloud

that stretched so far and dark

I’ve never heard the wind so loud

that never left a mark

    My turn to comment on your work after your words - and this is truly a superb piece - It just flows so well and, unlike many rhyming pieces, it doesn't strain to maintain the rhyme - a mark of a good write.

        I really like this. It reminds me of times when I was growing up. Exactly like you described. Black skies, fierce winds but after a while it just passed. Didn't do any damage really. I would just stand out in it. It was like God was blowing the dust off the earth. A great memory for me. I had nearly forgotten. Thank you so much for reminding me! Great rhythm and word usage! Great write. Thank you so much for sharing.

            I think most adults are so busy with their everyday lives they don't take the time to really notice the grandeur of nature. It's a shame. Sad to me.
