When I saw that the monthly challenge was storm I taught of something. The word storm doesn't necessarily have to mean VIOLENT WINDS or EARTH SHATURING THUNDER! There can be a STORM OF FEALINGS. When you feel love, sadness, anger, happiness at the same time when you feel a certain way about someone. That's what I like to call a STORM OF FEALINGS. Or after two months of drought a storm is very welcome.
My point is: STORM doesn't have to relate to DESASTER

Robert Salamon. Please tell me your opinion.

Yes, Robert, I understand what you are saying. Literal interpetation of the theme, as opposed to figurative or metaphorical(had to go to the dictionary on these). The choice is yours to make. Maybe a story using various combinations would be interesting. Okay, sounds like you got it together on the 'style' of what you will be writing about. Now, what about 'content'? How important are the following: clarity, sentence structure, continuity, point of view and finally, spelling and punctuation. As you can probably tell, I think that style and content are very important in good writing. What do you say?

I guess we are both rite.When you put both our opinions together you can get a very interesting story/poem. Hope you can share your opinions with me on some other theme, some other tome. Robert Salamon

Do April showers bring June brides? Storm also could mean to abruptly enter or leave. A tempest can be the maelstrom, or as in the play, it could be the agent of change...a stormy period, as the young lady went through puberty. A thunderhead could be the clouds of an approaching thunderstorm, or refer to an act at the peak of a drama that suddenly changes the story's direction. You can clearly see it in the foreshadowing, but its far off at present. I was just commenting on the I-Ching in another post. It wet my appetite; as the rain fell, ink started to run in rivulets.

"...storm the castle." Gale Storm. Storm Thurmond. (okay, I really reached on the last one.) I think the themes are meant to be interpreted as the writer sees fit. With the exception of some language, and things hurtful to children, the mods are fairly flexible. g'snix

You all seam to have some verry interesting opinions. Keep it up. I'll be sure to turn to you when I nead some advice or when I have something that's not clear. Robert Salamon

Yep, it's all about interpretation. :)
