AUTHOR
Peter Rivendell
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Who me? Born in 1962. Wrote prolifically as a teenager, heavily influenced by books & the music of the time. Stopped writing for 20 years more or less. But started again...
Some of the work here dates from the "early period" - 1979-1982. The rest is since 2000.
I`ve no idea whether I`m a better writer now or then. Maybe I was never any good! I`ve always wondered.
Feedback most welcome...

I've not visited this site at all since January 2006 as I shortly after discovered the unfettred joys of blogging. I'm still writing and actually had a very good summer of writing. I'm posting a recent poem here now but all my recent work is available on my blog - take a look - http://peter-rivendell-poems.blogspot.com/

The Storm Inside Him
Peter Rivendell

Walking through a landscape once familiar.
A different quality of light that seemed to change everything.
Cutout shapes on a blurry background.
Grey-green stones hummed in and out of focus.
The slow, uneasy applause of the rain.
Utterly calm, he felt blank rather than refreshed,
Blinking his only motion.
Aware of his own breathing
So much so that he suddenly had to concentrate on breathing.
A metallic taste.
A veil of rain.
The wet trees seemed to shed far more water
Than the sudden shower had released.
An epidemic of drizzle.
Blackened from overuse,
Ripples on water like a dance of lights,
Wet, as if wet were all.
A watery conclusion of sorts.
An undiscovered discipline gave him strength,
The storm inside him had subsided long ago.
