Hurricane Irene

Hurricane Irene 8/29/2011
a
leaf
pauses
while crossing
the sidewalk and
glances at the clouds,
dense with dark austerity.
knitted gray brows glare back.

the leaf

hurries on.
a storm is coming

  1. Without discussing anything about the content, I have to say the arrangement is quite impressive. It clearly looks like a tree! I'll definitely try this visual effect some time. : )

  2. I actually hadn't thought about it looking like a tree. :) I was just trying to portray the idea of something building in strength, and then contrast that with the smallness of a leaf blowing in the wind. I'm glad you pointed that out, thanks!
