The storm and the lighthouse.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



The storm and the lighthouse.

I sit by the lighthouse and look up at the sky. I can see the puffy clouds as they float by. Then I was amazed when the angels arrived. They float down in their silky white gowns with diamonds in their eyes. I guess they stop by to say hi? The clouds turn a shade of  gray, and I can see a storm on its way. The waves smashed up on the rocks and left sea foam by my toes. I can feel the spray on my face, and the wind picks up like it's was in a race. Then a star fell from the sky. Then a bright light appeared right by my side. She has arrived. The wedding bride.

    This poem had the effect on me that I must be more aware of lighthouses next time I’ll visit a beach. Keep writing.

    Wow, 'The storm and the lighthouse' is such a beautiful and captivating poem! The imagery of the puffy clouds, angels in silky white gowns with diamonds in their eyes, and the storm approaching really transported me to the scene you described. The description of the waves crashing on the rocks and leaving sea foam by your toes was so vivid and made me feel like I was right there with you. The sudden appearance of a star falling from the sky and a bright light by your side added a mystical and enchanting element to the poem.

    One suggestion for improvement would be to perhaps add a bit more depth or emotion to the poem. You could explore the feelings or thoughts of the speaker more, especially when interacting with the angels or witnessing the storm approaching. Adding more emotional depth could further engage the reader and make the poem even more powerful.

    Overall, I absolutely loved reading 'The storm and the lighthouse' and am so impressed by your talent for painting such a vivid picture with your words. Keep up the amazing work!
