The Mountain Storm

Raging against the cliffside,
Tree's whisper silence..."

Poetry or Short Story?
Sometimes, when I get mad, I start to speak in metaphors. Honestly, arguments with me often sound like talking to a very upset or distressed female version of Dr. Seuss. Which, being mad, is certainly the last person I want to sound like. But I have always loved writing and singing. It's one of those things that comes more naturally to me. Not to say I am good at it, just comfortable with it. So here, I'll share with you some of my work from over the years. After three poems, there is a short story based on a real story. I'll be doing a few more publishes along those lines soon. In the meantime! Enjoy.

Rain didn’t stop Mala. Swaddling for Edgar covered the baby boy’s body and she held her other son’s, Burton, six-year-old hand. The mud, muck, and mire didn’t hinder her from staying on course with her mission. From Pennsylvania, they all trekked to get closer and closer to land that was never promised but simply implied. Each step produced more mud caked around her sneakers. She didn’t care. Her rucksack provided them protein packs to put into plastic bottles and nuts and berries and dried meats to keep their muscles in good health. Water hydrated. She rested. The baby had been asleep the entire time that she had started her journey and her eldest son remained silent throughout the excursion as well.
