Thunderstruck

Many poets -- including the great T.S. Eliot -- have written on the subject of rain and clouds and thunder. But how do we actually relate to these elements? Do they tell us stories about ourselves? Do they frighten us? Do they comfort us? A set of amazing photos leads us into further discussion, at blog.amynelsonhahn.info

Dreamless

The man in the mountain
of clouds beats a drum
feared by some, loved by others --
its dignity pounds aloud
each magnifying swell
of the sky's resilience
over water, over storms,
over the fury that would tell
another story of another time,
grounding its voice in the roar
of waves cast upwards,
defying sleep to come.
