How often does the letter "u" occur in:
Portentous is storm.
projects an impending doom everywhere.
Frightening is lightning.
it alters the sheen of pooled dew in each leaf.
warily waits as pregnant with wet, gale threatens.
Awful is louring mauve.
and clashing drowns voices of scurrying crowd.
as tree shudders once and it dies.
Awesome is white- forked lightning.

Beyond awesome striking imagery and poetry.
Bless you Teddy and thank you for the visit and comment on Awesome.
to that majestic quality of Nature's power!
Dear L.B. - -- How truly kind your comment on Awesome - and so thrilled you liked the form. Thank you for dropping by and for all your generous support.
Awesome read, Fay.
The shape was well played.
Ah - - thanks Jerry - -- that was my intention to try for a shape resembling the tree doomed to be taken down by lightning.
Awesome is an understatement Fay.
Thanks for your kind in-put A.P. - -- the thought of a beautiful tree hit by lightning seemed enough for a go at shape-shifting lines as tribute to nature's awesomeness.
Such poetic fruit from your storm tree. Dare i shelter neath such a majestic stalwart, no indeed not under skies darkened with your verse. I'd seek a more welcoming spot hoping for a cuppa.
Great imagery and cleverly, nay pleasingly, presented.
And a stormful of thank yous for even attempting to shelter 'neath branches attacked by such hellish forces dear Dusk. - -- sending you a special cuppa laced with genuine appreciation for your generous comment on Awesome.
Am in Stratford-upon-Avon today.Yes really.With family members.Feel at home reading your work here Fay.
Wow - Thank you so much for this special in-put Neil - -- what a wealth of historical interest that place represents as I well remember. An honour indeed for my work to be read in world-famous Stratford - - - hope you had a fabulous time viewing the Olde Bard's treasures.
An unexpected imagery, but your composition though did strike me with an intensity of a lightening bolt.
Decades ago, I wrote on the subject of how humans may have discovered ’fire’, and concluded on the same analogy.
Great that the read of Awesome struck similar chords in your memory Suresh -- the force of fire in lightning must be tragic for trees or anything living that receive its tremendous power.
R.I.P. old oak –You went down in a blaze of glory memorialized in beautiful effortless (‘doubt that – Ed) verse which ensures your immortality.
Great stuff, Fay.
Wonderful, striking words Fay, but I can see the tree is still there.
