It was a dark and stormy night<\/strong>
\nThe starry heavens<\/strong>
\nReplaced by blinding light<\/strong>
\nStriking as lightning<\/strong>
\nStartling awe<\/strong>
\nBut the bravest<\/strong>
\nFrom places unseen<\/strong>
\nWith undeniable power<\/strong>
\nSow ready to rumble<\/strong>
\nReigning like a queen<\/strong>
\nPoet, poet her, poetess<\/strong>
\nOh my God<\/strong>
\nCorrection!<\/strong>
\nOn my goddess<\/strong>
\nHer super natural wind<\/strong>
\nClears deadwood from mighty oaks<\/strong>
\nAnd what remains<\/strong>
\nStill<\/strong>
\nStands<\/strong>
\nOf gentle reads<\/strong>
\nOn the edge<\/strong>
\nOf the river of life<\/strong>
\nAnd in her wake<\/strong>
\nSleepy souls<\/strong>
\nAnd well wrested<\/strong>
\nA like<\/strong>
\nFind themselves<\/strong>
\nIn what might<\/strong>
\nBe called<\/strong>
\nDaylight<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wrote this poem a while back in homage to Toledo poetess, Stormi, aka Paula Blocker, who graciously hosts a poetry reading every Friday night at\u00a0The Trunk,\u00a03353 Franklin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
