An Ode To Thunder Storms

An ode to thunder storms

Thunder storms are wonderful day or night
The lighting flashing very bright
The thunder as loud as a herd of elephants
Striking our ears with the sound of vengeance

 First the air gets damp and thick
The wind picks up with a slight kick
The birds all fly back to their trees
The waves crash hard and heavy in the sea

You hear a small roar in the distance 
Lighting just flashed and you missed it
The dark frightening clouds turns navy blue
Some people will hope it will just pass through

Minutes pass and the louder the roar 
Like a pride of lions outside your door
All the trees shake along with the house 
You dog gets scared and hides behind the couch

It’s over now just the smell of rain in the air
The damage to your house and yard is fare
You look outside on the down low
Looking up after the storm
