A Thunderstorm

When you don’t expect a thunderstorm, It sure can take its toll, Being at the mercy of a power Out of your control. You can hide or duck for cover Or confront it and get soaked, For the rage that it embodies Needs no cause to be provoked. And eventually it passes Which, for everybody’s sake, Is a welcome calm, but repercussions Linger in its wake.

Where I live summer thunderstorms are often frighening! It's not the thunder I fear, it's the lightening! I've written a few poems on the subject using language as vividly as possible to recreate the experience a second time! – Maurice

I'm not a fan of thunderstorms - dont mind the lightning but the bangs and crashes are far too close for comfort - several properties were hit in a storm a few years ago and need total re builds - scary stuff indeed. hugs jan xx
