Destruction - Self and Otherwise

Author: @Headstall
Theme: The Storm

Storms, vicious ones, are not always created by nature. This poem is about a different kind of devastation.

Reader Comments:

aditus: Amid all the tragedy and sadness, you manage to send out  a ray of hope one can survive the hurricane or even become the storm.

Parker Owens: I feel the howling winds and slashing rain of the storm you experienced. While it echoes in the far distance now, you’ve written new thunder to peal across the page.

wildone: As others have mentioned, this is an example of how one works to finally take back their life and destiny. The final stanza is an excellent conclusion!
