once upon a rugged
morning
out of a remote meadow
where splendor shook
its grace
and thunder rolled a
blessing
a deep shadow with an
attitude
rolled down the ridge
across the marble
markers
across the backs of
silent cows
across the fierce
warriors
suffering took a second
seat
to that shadow with
an attitude

I love this!!! Can see it all now!
Great imagery and movement in this. Very creative take on the words.
That must have been quite the storm. I love the description of it crossing the backs of the cows and rolling down the ridge.
Lovely.
Wonderful poem! I love: "thunder rolled a blessing" and "a deep shadow with an attitude." Very creative!
So... is it a "shadow-tude?" Ha! Sorry, I couldn't help myself. This is a gorgeous write. I love it.
Love the movement and agree with Brenda, this is a gorgeous write, incredibly creative,

My favourite phrase is 'where splendor shook its grace' but what I really love is your water colour!
I too, enjoyed the movement in this poem, Susan.
