Challenge In My Element
Last night I heard the thunder roll.
Did you?
Saw bolts from Zeus scorch the skies.
Did you?
Stepped outside, quite naked,
Felt Calandra's icy tears
Shock my body, cleanse my soul,
Make me gasp, make me whole.
Did you?

Hello, Alex,
Not knowing about Calandra, I went Googling. Very clever poem!

Hello L
I often wonder how many have heard of her. I only recently found out about her. Alex

Very creative
I like how you incorporated the mythological reference to the elements. Well done.

Almost didn't
Hello Rose This was not how I originally planned it. Was just supposed to be a reference to the fury and cleansing of nature. Then this idea came to me. I think I may try writing one about the thinking process. Alex
