I Saw...

I saw
i looked
i watched
as winds went soft
then seize
I saw
i looked
i watched
when tops of trees
lift and toss
I saw
i looked
i watched
as coalescing clouds
of thundering gray
blackening skies on
a darkening day
I saw
i looked
i watched
as raindrops fell
in widening circles
on the pond

holy crap...........................killer.

any way around the two 'begin to....verb' constructions? better to just get to the verb. like you did here..

i watched
as raindrops fell

//imagine that with a 'begin to' in it.
ugg.

I saw
i looked
i watched
as winds went soft
and seized.

you give such imagery. It gives me the feeling of onomatopoeia without it being so obvious, meaning I can see all of these things and hear them without all of the sound effects. It's just wonderful.

Nice and tight, Phil!

darkening skies on
a darkening day
(I'd swap the first DARKENING for BLACKENING)
