Storms

~~ Heavy, dark rain clouds are swirling and drifting, And I am waiting for the downpour to begin; Furious, angry and oh so violent is the wind, And in the distance are flashes of sharp lightning. Oh, there is an enchantment and a fascination, In storms, the rage and roar, spellbinding; Thunder and vivid bolts, angrily striking, While waiting for the deluge in total captivation. A whirlwind and a clamor of impressive thunder, Brilliant displays cracking above the trees; The swift moving clouds bursting above me, And an assault of rain falls with intense power. ______________________________ July 1, 2014 Poetry/Enclosed Rhyme/Mother's Garden Copyright Protected, ID 07-580-151-01 All Rights Reserved, 2014, Constance La France Written for the Premier contest, Storms, sponsor, Shadow Hamilton, Judged 07/2014 Second Place

Just got the note you left here to me about your eyesight problem. I am so sorry for that. Hope you are getting help. Are you still working as a nurse or are you on disability?

Andrea thanks for your concern, my eyesight is worsening slowly at the moment I am still able to work at the nursing home but not for much longer perhaps another 6 months only, then I am not sure what happens, anyways that is why I am not here all the time, good days and bad days is my reality ~~
