There is no other way to describe natures fury! This thunderous example is so well described one could only imagine such intensity!

Sometimes in the mist of storms, it is difficult even to imagine a horizon, bright or otherwise...by the grace of God enters a gentle, soothing eye for well deserved respite -- blessed to have friends, family, and an extra special someone perhaps. Powerful image!

For me facing thunderstorms can be easy. so long as I am inside. Your poem is full of great imagery. Best for a win. Hugs.

More than the poem, I am impressed by the image you have chosen. With your beautiful account of the thunderstorm, you have infused a fiery strength to the image and it has assumed an alarming dimension. But at the end, everything is calm. Great entry. All the Best, dear Anne. Hugs.

Wow!! I like the approach you've used to this situation. The storm was very short for us this morning around 5:30 or so. Not so short and a whole lot more damaging in some areas. Some have been very deadly and damaging in some states and areas these last few weeks and even days. Sara K

The ending was a relief as i read as i am scared of thunderstorms usually, most of the time, what an appropriate picture to go with your well woven poem for the prompt. I love the lines especially “ Thunder and lightning in wild confusion - flashed with sabre rays” i wish i had written that! Such brilliance! Pleasure reading your poem today! Sending you light always.. best wishes
