Writing Exercise 141

A new week, a new writing exercise! :D
This time I was prompted again by my buddy from the art group, and I decided to write a German sonnet for this prompt. Enjoy!

2018/08/20 – “shadows of big creatures soar through the sky, the sky looks almost like it's burning“ (German sonnet)

The sky is painted in fiery reds

There are clouds of ash and smoke

Ghastly shadows swoosh like a feather stroke

You think you're safe at home in your beds?

A roar erupts from the heavens like thunder

The earth seems caught in a conflagration

People tremble with dread and anticipation

That those creatures tear the world asunder

Flying death approaches from the sky

Don't hope for mercy for they will deny

You think there is a silver lining?

As the shadows soar over the lands

Your fate lies solely in their hands

Onto soot and ruins the sun will be shining
