The Storm  (Senryu)

darkness shadows day
hurriedly we hide away
as clouds come to play


out in the distance
deafening harsh rumbling
our early warning


announcing loud call
annoying clapping way high
banging thunderous


illumination
bolted chains of heated light
commotion of fire


electricity
atmospheric discharging
pure entertainment


precipitation
angels tear drops from the sky
as heaven now cries



"...the rest is silence" (Hamlet)       Shakespeare

the fascination of storms...so much power...so riveting...as long as I'm inside


I can't say I enjoyed the storm I was in one fourth of July when lightening struck the river and coursed through the ground, emptying every tree of every bird and zapping eleck-a-tric-ity through the metal in my chaise lounge.
