The Storm

by Gem   Mar 6, 2007


The air feels warm with tension
As we come to the end of day
The black clouds start to gather
The storm is on its way

The wind is picking up
And the sky is growing dark
A rumble of low thunder
Announces it's about to start

A flash of lighting cracks
And the heavens begin to bawl
Another roll of thunder
Escorts the harsh rainfall

The sheet of rain speeds up
As the thunder grumbles through
A fork of blue light flashes
And splits the sky in two

It shows no sign of stopping
As it rages through the night
Pitch black with rumbling noise
Lit up with sparks of light

As the morning approaches
The thunder becomes a quiet sound
The storm clouds start to disappear
As the rain starts to die down ©

    What a nice description of a storm. Great job.

    It shows no sign of stopping
    As it rages through the night
    Pitch black with rumbling noise
    Lit up with sparks of light

    I can see the storm
    Take care Your friend Cindy
