Wow, as always, the imagery evoked by your words is marvelous, Brooke. What a truly lovely poem, and I loved the artwork you selected too. (Poor Starfish...sigh...LOL)

Brooke, you did a great job on this rispetto.
Great rhyming. I would hate to be that little
starfish during the storm. What a powerful
line that is ... the storm kept raging, satisfied.

A violent storm can be all embracing, at one moment extinguishing lefe and at another moments perhaps replenishin and cleansing the pits of the ocean. Well done, Brooke.

Comment from Giddy Nielsen-Sweep
This is a rispetto with so much action and dynamic life... The life of a storm crashing around amongst waves gives it a feeling of lots of action and power. Reading it I felt like the little starfish. Giddy

'A Storm Came Crashing' is an extremely well-written and delightfully descriptive piece. To me there's nothing better than a storm at the beach. It was a pleasure to review this talented poet's work.

Comment from Donya Quijote
You aptly captured the height and the aftermath of the storm. Funny thing about storms at sea or by the shore, too often we think that when the backside of the storm has arrived that it's safe to out again when it really isn't. The passing of the worst may in fact be just the beginning. Think of Katrina. New Orleans it seemed had survived the monster and then hell broke loose. The same for your Starfish.
There is also an undulating quality to your verse, the definite presence of motion that is up and down. Might be a quality of this type of poetry. Strong sensory appeal as the storm and the aftermath are easy to imagine. Dark, foreboding mood. Well illustrated. Nice one again. Methinks I sound like a broken record.

Comment from ragamuffin
Wonderful overall presentation. Definitely worded to create great imagery and emotion. "I feel the need to free my soul," is such an amazingly creative line to describe the storm on the ocean.

Comment from tedanytime
A powerful verse that describes the fury of a storm.
This poetic form is used perfectly in reflecting the fierce tumult and final sated state.
One senses a spiritual message behind the lines.
The lighthouse reminds of an old gospel song.
Very fine poem.

I think the rispetto is one of my favorite types of poems, I don't know why, but they are so lovely. Thank you for sharing, beautiful art work.

thanks so much, Bina - I love the form because it is just enough, not too little or too much - there is enough form there for it to be a form, but it's not twisted around some convoluted set of 15 rules :-) Brooke
Comment from lancellot
Very interesting. At the end, did the starfish sigh and breath its last because they were washed upon the shore and died? Thought provoking work.
