The author's words are interesting, clear and creative. I found the
rhyming in this poem was excellent. I really thought about the
3rd stanza and how the author gently conveyed a safe place.
The artwork is perfect and compliments this poem.
Hope you are having a great day!

Your skillfully-written minute poem vividly describes the storm from the preliminaries to the rainbow, including the eagle, which instinctively
knows what to do. Good rhymes

Comment from Margaret Bednar
This is gorgeous - the last line, though, seems a bit forced but that is the nature of a form sometimes. I think Eagles (or mighty hawks) really do parallel well ith a wintry sky and storming mountain peaks. Nice symplism and word choices.

Thank you, Margaret, for taking the time to read and review my poem. Poetry is not, for me, an easy format. Though when I've been writing a lot of it, my husband laughs when I begin to speak in rhymes, the strictly regimented syllable counts make my a lunatic at time. And that often causes my lines to be forced - lol. Oh well, it is what it is. Hope your week is going well.

Comment from June Sargent
A lovely minute poem that captures the essence of a stormy night. Nature has a way of cleansing the earth - and then the calm sets in afterwards. Meanwhile, the birds and other creatures know exactly where to shelter safely. We can learn from them...

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written minute poem about the storm starts forming in the mountains, we see the birds fly above finding shelter from the coming storm and the dangers it may bring.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I enjoyed the sentiments here of the stormy skies threatening rain. The meter is spasmodic which interrupts the flow a little, but you brought the essence of the storm here, love Dolly x

Comment from Melodie Michelle
Overall I appreciate the thought of the poem and I could vision where you wanted to go with it, however, it didn't quite make it there! Don't give up though ...
Here are a few suggestions:
*Change("Safe in God's palm
waiting the calm")
*Suggested change: "waiting the calm" should be "awaiting the calm"
*Another suggestion is:
*Change ("Lightning zigzags through waning storm")
*Suggested changes: "through waning storms" or "through the waning storm"!
Change: ("Rain slowing down
then rainbow crown")
* Suggested change: "then rainbow crowns" or "then the rainbow crowns"
The font is a little difficult to make out as well.
Just a small amount of tweaking needed to finish it up;-) Overall great thought and on the right track.
Thank you so much for sharing and God bless you;-)

Thank you for taking the time to read my work, Melodie. Unfortunately, what may sound better to the ear does not always meet the criteria for the contest - lol! So some of the work has to stay as it is. And I'll take another look at the font. Again - thank you.
