Wrote this in a hurry thinking the power would be off soon . . . pitch-black dark no, it isn’t midnight it is 9:55 a.m. but it is as dark as midnight thunderstorms, massive, severe thunderstorms are up on us brilliant, almost scary lighting and ground shaking tremendous thunder unnerving Zoe is also unnerving me as far as that goes poor Zoe goes to the door and barks at what she knows not then turns looks at me as if I can stop this, natures ugliness waiting for power to put us into total darkness after every line I save this little poem man oh man, the rain is assaulting up with biblical proportions Zoe has given up ran into the bathroom cowering in a corner animals! they are the best weather prognosticator ©April 27, 2015 .

We don't get much in the thunderstorm dept. here where I live, but I visited a friend in McComb Mississippi once and oh man, that was an experience I will never forget. I was young and stupid enough to love it... so I don't know if I should feel some sympathy for you and Zoe, or some envy.  Michael |

Hey! Michael, we had bad thunderstorms where I grew up in Arkansas, and yes, Mississippi gets some also. This one today was really a ground moving storm. Huge limbs were ripped off of trees I noticed when I walked Zoe this afternoon. Even though I have been through many thunderstorms, the really bad ones get to me if it lingers the way this one did today. Thanks for the read a comments . . . ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |
