The Storm

This poem was inspired by witnessing horses galloping in the rain near my aunt's place in rural Sacramento. I was touched by the beauty of both the horses and the storm. I decided to convey the power of the storm through the metaphor of a horse, with the horse's different movements conveying the different stages of the storm, such as the hooves represented the pounding of the rain.

Exploring and expressing my creativity through writing helps me put the thoughts in my head down onto paper. It feels like I'm releasing the feelings I have about the world into the page. I like to express through poetry the beauty and power I witness in nature.
