NaPo 1: The Storm Cloud

Blech. Not an inspiring start

The Storm Cloud
(Villanelle)
Inside the cloud, the storms already rage,
the anxious pleadings of their impatient cast
To raise the curtain on a furious stage.

Beneath the sky, the heavens form a cage
We can't know how long the rain will last
And inside the cloud, the storms already rage.

The duration is impossible to gauge
Now that we have all the players massed
To raise the curtain on a furious stage.

The tempest shouldn't strike in reason's age!
The storm is something breaking from the past...
But inside the cloud, the storms already rage.

And the orders have gone out to engage
The bombers will release a fatal blast
And raise the curtain on a furious stage.

The coming storm is taunting's heavy wage
And when it comes, the burning will be fast --
Inside the cloud, the storms already rage,
To raise the curtain on a furious stage.
