Notes About The Poem

5/20/2025 for This or That, Vol 33 Poetry Contest sponsored by Edward Ibeh

Along With the Thunder

In SoCal we don't get much rain,
occasionally, a pitter patter.
Along with drizzle, the windowpane
will get a little splatter.

I'm thinking, my dear, longtime friend,
that we consider something nice.
Don't be shocked as I recommend
thrilling weather to add some spice. 

Would you like a thunderstorm,
if I could be inviting one?
Though I know it's not the norm,
it would be such exciting fun.

Like a multimedia show,
we could watch it from inside,
see the lightning flash and glow,
with thunder too, you by my side.

We'd pretend that we were scared.
and hug each other very tight,
with each and every lightning flare
and thunder blast that rocked the night.

If, between us, lightning lit a spark
between our wildly beating hearts,
along with thunder in the dark,
I'd hope that lovely trouble starts.
