I really liked your poem. Especially the line "I am no longer me". Emotions like anger can engulf and smother everything else especially our reason. Thank God for mothers and those with the courage to take our hand and lead us away from the storm. Esther

Hi Ida,
This poem makes me feel a bit scared. It seems like a manic-depressive or b-polar person. It reminds us of the calming effect of a mother's love.
Congrats on placing second in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great weekend.
Joan

I really liked this poem, all the references to weather conditions phrased as different stages of anger. Very well put with a great flow to it. I like how at the end Mothers touch makes everything okay

I really liked this a great metaphor for emotion for although we say angry skies we do not believe skies have feelings. The words are powerful and build to a crescendo. I would advice that you delete the last two lines of the poem and leave the ending a mystery. After all, it is meant to be one emotion and you have begun to suggest a second. Great writing though.

Your poem beautifully captures the cycle of emotions and events during and after a storm. The imagery was fantastic. I could see the rolling clouds, thunder, and rain. You created a sense of tension and impending chaos. The repetition of "Flash, Boom, Lightning, Rain" worked so well. It showed us the relentless nature of the storm. My favorite part was the calming presence of your mother's hand. There was a sense of comfort and reassurance that was followed by the emergence of sunshine and a feeling of hope. Well done!

Yep, I think you got as close to it as anyone could. I have a friend who angers me and calms me with ease. I don't know what that is, but it's beautiful. I don't suffer from fits of anger, but I am easy to anger. Sometimes I'm quiet and sometimes it comes like a verbal explosion. Well a tiny verbal explosion that is. I can't really get too angry because I start laughing.
