Silent echoes of thunder in the distance
Black clouds soon smother the sky
The air becomes chiller and harsh as it blows
Mother Nature's wondrous gift will soon arrive

Tears of the heavens soon shed to the ground
Leaving potholes as puddles of rain
And instead of the sun beaming down from above
The beauty of lightning spreads the earth

The leaves of the trees sparkle brilliantly
As the flash catches the drops of water like a picture
The thunder now rolls with more urgency
The rain now pounding harder against the asphalt

It's a race to be louder, fast, more significant
As the rain, lightning and thunder join as one
Hours on end they battle away
Until finally the storm does cease

Silent echoes of thunder in the distance
Blue sky starts to peek through the clouds
The air becomes soothing and peaceful as it blows
Mother Nature's wondrous gift will soon arrive*

JLynne~
It was a pleasure to read such a lovely piece~

'Tears of the heavens soon shed to the ground'

That gentle thought is softly original and the imagery of the entire piece is very good~

Thank you for dropping in on a couple of my pieces and leaving such nice replies~

I hardly ever visit the Teen Forum, but since you used exactly the same title I once used for a poem, I couldn't resist and boy am I glad I opened this topic! It was a great pleasure to read your poem.

I am impressed with this visual aid with the writing. The winds blows in my face and I feel the raging fight over the rain and thunder. Delightful and always a pleasure reading your work.

Amazing, beautiful write.
I've tried once or twice to write about lightning storms, but it never came out quite right.
Your poem described them perfectly.
Once again, beautiful.

Wow...I really liked this one. It flowed very well...and I liked how you started and ended with the same stanza. Nice touch! Hehe. I really like this. You normally don't write anything that has to do with nature, and I think a little change is always good. Nice job. I like this. Love's.

I've read quite a few of your poems and you are one tallented girl! I absolutly adore this piece for the imagery that it brought to my mind. I also happen to be a bit of a nature freak and thunder storms happen to be one of my favorites! I especailly enjoyed how you started out with "mother nature's wonderus gift will soon arrive" and went on to tell of the lightning storm and then in the end showed a lightening of the mood as if it were to be sunny soon and then ended with the same frase, it really showed how everything in nature is beautiful and I couldn't have put it better if I tried. Lovely write
