I totally read politics into the first one... oops!

Whoa, I see where you got it!

Seems like a common theme Marcia. Hope the storms clear soon. On another note, Ann will be here in 9 DAYS!!!!! So excited.

Rose

How great! Hope those 9 days fly by!

I like the image of weather fronts colliding as a metaphor for human confrontation

Thank you, Juliet. It did just seem to fit.

The first stanza in the first poem is absolutely perfect. It’s so vivid, so poetic (not as much of a “duh” as you first think), so wonderful.

As for the Destiny poem, that’s awesome, too. What a call for independence.

And yes, the wise ladies above me see the same connection I do. Or I’m seeing what they are. Or something like that.

Thank you, Susan, especially for the aside. I must have connected them unconsciously, that is how I normally write.

I agree with Paisley - these two appear to have a commonality - cause and effect or vice versa. Nice work!

At least I can see it now, too, Susan. Thank you.

i think the reality of the second poem is what causes a lot of the mudslinging going on in the first one… individual destinies often collide…

I never tied the two poems together, the second one was an afterthough — but that makes sense, Paisley.
