: Winter's Tempestuous Wrath by Gypsy Blue Rose

 

winter’s tempestuous wrath

can't take away her hope  

praying for his return

while the storm stubbornly lurks

  

*******
 

white clouds say goodbye

as the raging gust rips his last lie,

'cause the wind doesn’t have a heart,

and his love dies in the dark

 

*******
 

lightning flashes and thunder booms

as the girl counts seconds between the two

with her loyal trembling dog by her side

she waits for Dad to come home

 

 

 


Author Notes
the girl waits for her dad who will never come, perhaps he is dead, or he abandoned her

If you count the number of seconds between the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder and then divide by 5, you'll get the distance in miles to the lightning: 5 seconds = 1 mile, 15 seconds = 3 miles, 0 seconds = very close. Keep in mind that you should be in a safe place while counting.

Thank you very much for reading and reviewing my poem.
