Thunderstorm
Power is beauty,
when unleashed
nature darkens, churns
and clashes.
Rolling clouds swirl
in a gray, blue,
and black
thunder clap!
Raindrops in staccato
deluge my deck
in a wet and wild soak,
soothing summer's heat.
My senses alert, I absorb
nature's furious fare,
bewitched by her
intriguing temper.

A good thunderstorm exhilarates... your poem too!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree Terry. This exhilarating thunderstorm, our granddaughter enjoyed the way the raindrops were hitting our deck, as we were watching from inside. We wanted her to enjoy nature and not be afraid of storms.

Marlene

Marlene, I could very well see your powerful words come to life in my mind. Being from Arizona, in the desert where the monsoons brought many thunderstorms and rolling clouds, your poem reminded me of those early days when I was a girl and so happy to hear the huge rain drops begin to pelt the roof of our home knowing it was going to cool things off. That was pure joy. Thank you for sharing this poem and your talent.
