I like this poem and recorded a song last summer called ‘A Texas Storm’. My friend alissa’s voice and words after a summer storm in Texas that all my friends in Austin seem to remember… after a hot day. If the writer of this poem was interested there’s instrumental space after her storytelling at the beginning. If you would be interested in reading your writing to get dropped into a later portion of this music(already released)… I could show you the track. I recorded alissa’s words at her natural cadence. Then, half-blindly added it at a point in the top of what was an instrumental storm-inspired piece. Anyway, if there’s any interest in this- I think its a fitting thing. I can send you the song. I identified with your poem. Great job!

I love this metaphor. This poem builds slowly, like the powerful, transforming storm it brings to mind. Lovely.

Thank you and yes, the excitement of people who are like storms are what hooks us as destructive as they can ultimately be for some reason we are drawn by their electricity.

That poem gave me chills. I love the storms. Scary. Exciting. Refreshing. How boring and dry life would be without them.

A very vivid character drawing. I like the close analogy of the storm; an intertwined comparison that makes one equivalent to the other. We have people like that in our lives sometimes, don’t? Whose entrance has become turbulent, but whose exit leaves a hollow space. Very good poem.

Lovely poem, passionate and provoking. As usual Grainne, your words create harmony.
