Scary is the Sky

A horrid mask of thunder

rides in

astride a pony-tail

of scudding sky

 

its haunting movements

scare their way

across

hard-earned crops

like squeezing onion-juice

torturous sky observing

bathed in mischief & glee.

Squeezing onion-juice; not heard it put that way before. Your poem is charged with turbulent energy and I loved it. smiley

I loved the ominous imagery here; and the onion juice metaphor works so well.

This poem was a challenge to write but certainly satisfying.
