Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
I really like this and the clever and descriptive wording you've used in this. The last line sums it up beautifully. After the strength and power of the storm is over, healing rains are released. I enjoyed reading this well written work. Well done!

This 5-7-5, Hail the Mighty Summer Storm, has the right set up and glorifies the explosive release of nature's pent up power on to these helpless humans below.

Earlier in the season many folks were praying the rains would stop because of massive flooding. Now many, like Speaker in this ode, praise its "healing" power during a drought. Easy to visualize the storm depicted here. Rod

A very well-written 5-7-5 ode poem about the mighty summer storm that we need to cool down the earth from time to timprove although it can be frightening when the lighthing strikes and the thunder roars.

I would have given this six stars had I been able to. I like the exact rhythm and the images. You have captured the characterization of the storm. I especially like "healing rain released".

Comment from CrystieCookie999
I hear some assonance in "bow," "down," and "pow'r." There is "s" alliteration on line 2, and then more assonance in "trees," "leaves," "healing" and "released." And then more alliteration to end the poem with "rains" and "released." I may try that sometime, as I can't recall ending a poem with alliteration before. I might rewrite the second line as "power surrounds in sight, sound" and that's all. Way to go!
