Hello Angels in my Ear . I found your poem listed on "Invalid Item. So, here I am. *Smile*

Overall Impression


When I read this poem, I know that it is about storms. I will be the first to admit that thunderstorms frighten me. This resulted from a lightning bolt racing through my window screen, across the living room, and out the other window screen. Yes, as weird as this sounds, it kept going. I was a youngster when this happened. It scared the heck out of me. As I read this poem, I could feel the tension, fear, and eeriness of it all. I was right there with you!

I enjoyed this poem.

Stanza 1


This stanza is written well. The solo sentence that follows, "A warning of its anger," is also well written.

Stanza 2


L2: and...howl
S1: "the" is not needed here. Removing it will not change the meaning.

L3: at the windows
S1: A comma would go well here. Why, you may ask? It will keep the flow of the reading smooth.

L7: at the glass
S1: Place a comma after "glass." It will keep the flow of the reading smooth.

Stanza 3


This stanza is well written. Great job!

Stanza 4


L4: It's...breath,
S1: Change "It's" to "It is." This is out of place. You do not use contractions anywhere else in this poem.
*Lightning2*Tip: Keep punctuation consistent.

Stanza 5


L1: The...up
S1: A comma would work well after "up." It reads easier.

L4: and...silence.
S1: Remove "then." It is unnecessary here.
