A Storm Is Brewing

A storm is brewing, danger ensuing
Alarms are sounding in town
Gale winds are blowing, rain ongoing
Streak lightning straight up and straight down
Mother and father, sons and daughters
Quickly make way for protection
The sky was on fire, storm fed desire
As it mounted it's insurrection
They make it to cover, hug each other
Mother nature releases ferocity
Timely eschewing, the storm that was brewing 
They listen with curiosity
Inside was quiet, outside a riot
While they patiently waited it out
Rehearsed and prepared, no one was scared
Then that was the end of the drought 

 an original poem by Daniel Turner

Severe weather can put the fear of God into anyone. Flying debris is what can kill you faster than anything else. Coming from my early youth in Kansas, I remember the fear. You express it well in your poem Daniel. Congratulations on your win! #7. ; )
