Trojan Cloud

the image is of a dark stormy sky, and I imagine the clouds to look a Trojan Horse

The long-suffering,
foreboding Trojan cloud,
that was openly waiting
under the Sun’s shining sling,
stormily forewarned
the unsuspecting crowd:

“Hard rain shall destroy your ground,
after the warlord’s unofficial king
has been wrongfully crowned”
