In waves the thunder rippled overhead
Threatening to drown a man dead.
The clouds were swept along like sea foam
& the sky flashed like gleaming chrome.
The lightning came down in flickering lines
yellow,bright electric vines.
I sense the chaos of an oncoming storm.
The windpicks up,the air chilled,no longer warm.
The trees begin to dance,
the flowers sway in trance.
One last heavy gust of wind
making grasses bend.
Then a calm,quiet,silence before the storm sets in.
Weather vanes go out of control & spin
all the world's trouble converge in a defening manner
pain & misery come down like a banner.
It makes me happy to see the world crash
&crumble in a lightning flash.
I find comfort in the thrill
as all the evil from above begins to spill.
...........I'm only happy when it rains..........

And there she weaves by night and day,
a magic web of colours gay.~Tennyson

This is really magical! What a description and interpretation of a storm. I love it.

Love and hugs,

I liked how you described the lightning as electic vines, that was pretty cool. And nothing beats a good storm, keep it up!

The title of this one reminded me of that song by the group 'Garbage'-- "I'm only happy when it rains..." 8) This was great, I'm a stormlover too! ~~Jamie

"I keep breaking all the promises
That I keep making to myself
You'd think by now that I'd be over this
Instead I'm feeling sorry for myself
So why does everything seem desperate now?
I should be feeling so alive
But it feels like something's missing
Something's wrong somehow
It feels like something deep inside has died..."

Well, I am not a storm lover, I kind of fear there wrath, but your poem is fabulous, your descriptions are very dramatic and make the poem feel very stormy which is perfect. Thanks for a storm that left me delighted instead of in fear.
