Stormy Weather

Dee-Dee Carter 1962 (Chicago)

Lyric
Howling winds, trees surrendering their stance
Darkening clouds, lighting flashing
A rock cries out, "Where is my hiding place?"
The seas curls and laughs awaiting its prey
As the lost treasure deep within seeks a rupturing depart
A young, troubled soul searches for a brand new start...
Thunder booming, echoes the land
As the heavens orchestrates its renaissance
Conquering the wondering in breathless awe
Suspended animation causes an unseeingly frightful sight
A moment of grace, the unspoken word, encourages a soothing revival to a cold and somber world.

    This stormy weather signifies more than just a seeming fury of nature. There is a deeper meaning behind all of this depending on the reading one gives it.
    Some lines have a deep poetic language.
    Good read!

    I love the strong images in this one, and I really like where it is headed. I think it could do with a tad more refinement though. Look carefully at your punctuation. Commas, periods, and semicolons in the right places can either make an image succinct, rambling, or disjointed. Appropriate punctuation can be a guide in a poem. Also, maybe rethink the third line with the quote and slant rhyme of "place." It really breaks meter. Is there a better way to express this point? Because I like the point you are trying to make abouth the utter exposure of the rock. But what do I know? lol. Take it or leave it. The poem is perfectly lovely and your efforts a greatly appreciated.
