A Summer Storm
The sky had faked us out before,
Grown dark with hints of thunder,
But then the sun resumed control
And left us all to wonder…
Well, will it rain today or not?
The heat needs some relieving.
Yet once the clouds turned white again,
We gave up on believing.
Then all at once, the daylight dimmed
And thunder rumbled, booming.
The stormy weather we’d expected
Suddenly was looming.
The rain, at last, came crashing down -
Relentless, teeming, pounding.
Protected by my screened-in porch,
I felt its force resounding.
Ten minutes passed and with a snap,
The afternoon just brightened.
The show was over, leaving me
With all my senses heightened.
