Storm Surprise

Storm Surprise Desert never felt a wet time in its history It had to drink up sun light in the days And stand solid with the sand to pass the night No complaints were registered when the rains came To shock the dunes alive They rolled along with floods and lightning Lizards blinked, so many pounding drops unthinkable That never seemed to stop Legs waved like leaves then spun away Rocks showed their heads then sunk Winds carried on like drunken sailors The quiet desert became a circus of whirlpools Buried in water rings Blending into what was silence It still held on to tons of sand But would never be the same again Dry land was just a memory Rain saw to that Created on 2/28/15 Pick A Subject – Poetry Contest sponsored by Shadow Hamilton The subject is "Storm"
