written four years ago... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Thunderstorms" Flashing, creaking outside the windows, Raindrops falling on the porches freshly, The streets being swept away, comes the mighty rumble! The feel of a quake, the tumbling waves which shock all our thoughts. BOOM! The night lights up, the clouds turn yellow, The winds storm about ruthlessly! How it is to look about at all the fluttering leaves! Whistling and screaming the sea tides get darker and darker. It creeps skyward like a monstrous fog, then again comes the flashing streak of the crackling bolt, As the rip currents retreat, on comes still a larger ocean! If not to mention the pirates, The ocean rules itself today! In chilly and frosty streams the Coast becomes clear, here comes again The tremendous thunderbolts, The sea waves slapping wildly on the earth, Inspired by all this terror, Flooding up to the lighthouse, Comes the autumn breeze. Graze not only the sand of the beach, But also the paints of the houses. Hearing the shorelines, all ships set on dock. Like burning kites, the lightning burns at a tree, The waves of the sea getting bigger. Ocean, Ocean! The waves whistling silently, then ceasinglessly getting bigger, See how water moves itself? So much power, so scary! From the blue skies of sunny days To the cloudy nights of winter, Drizzles of frost layers on tips of grass! Thunder still rolling now, Just like the rolling crash of tsunami. My eyes lift up and the rain falls on my face lightly, Like the gentle touch of the southern breezes.

I was not listening to my Sociology teacher when I wrote this poem. Even school can be taken advantage of by poets such as I! Thank you both. |

Isis, storms have never scared me. I adore the raging winds and heavy rain, to the farthest extent, even hurricane-force. Personally... I've never confronted a hurricane but ... the beauty is just that of a tempest. I found something to haunt my thoughts. Think of the hurricane whipping rain across the streets, then turning away, and leaving the rain falling on your face lightly with a serenity that was not there before the hurricane. |

I love the elements and seeing as we have thunder here as I write this..  I love to see the sky go dark and then the flashes and the rain always seems so warm on my skin..

Thanks again, Isis. RainbowGirl: I find my poems to be a good reminder of events, because I can read them over again and again without tiring. To be 100% honest I pulled off an all-nighter last evening, so I am tired. But when I am tired, I can still write poetry like this, with a little bit more excitement. I'll dream of the lightning and the rain! |
