Very thought provoking poem...A cyclone always disturbs, turns everything upside down, brings in chaos...
Cyclone as metaphor for act of clearing when all that is superfluous and mere appearance (dreg) gives way to reveal the essence: that which is firm, which transcends sorrow and joy (wow!) , created from emptiness that pours down - the advent of something unseen that creates something unseen (doubly unseen) , where grapes blossom heavy with wine (also unseen) ! ! A remarkable reflection on appearance and essence. Very powerfully penned.
Well observed, well wanted.thanks for sharing
Wind shifts dust and this gives different perfection. Empty space pours down and silence breaks plates. Cyclonic storm roars. Cyclone brings destruction. An amazing act of expression is noticed. A brilliant poem is excellently penned....10

Thank you for sharing, Yoonoos. God´s Blessings.
Such a captivating description of a cyclone, you conjured magic, Yoonoos! I am mesmerized. Thank you for sharing this poem about a Cyclone. God´s Blessings.
Comment of poet RM brought me to your cyclonic poem reading I just recalled the tsunami in Indonesia DID the wind also read your poetry and it seems it reacted to find out if poetry has similar trends on humanity why winds can be left far behind WE MUST keep metaphors in mind cyclones and tornadoes come and go memory leaves a sad imprint behind for a long time
'as grapes manifest from blossoms heavy with wine unseen' - oh, what a wonderful depiction, awesome! Welcome back, dear poet, to PoemHunter. Seeing you after a long time, or was I unmindful to notice?
the earth becomes like someone's kite- Your imagery is striking, and organic, the portrayal of the elements give it a personality that when unleashed runs amuck reshaping the world to its own designs, even the very seeds of a tree are affected by its undertow, affecting the natural world. As you say this is an insightful work, the power of a cyclone unleashed a unique human insight. Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful imagery. It reminds of churning of the ocean by gods and demons in our mythology.
This is a celebration of nature. Well-penned with powerful use of imagery. Kudos
A simple poem on natural phenomena, The rage of earth appears in many forms and this is one of them, You could have described it in further refined manner. Nice try.
the rest is dreg. Profound poem. Enjoyed it. Thanks. anjandev Roy.
