Notes About The Poem

        Joseph's Rondelet Contest ~~~ April 26, 2025

Cloud Darkened Sky

Cloud darkened sky
Nimbus raced above me in flight
Cloud darkened sky
A thunderstorm was drawing nigh
Shadowing the purple twilight
Lightening flashed, giving great fright
Cloud darkened sky

Lin, you're making me think about a lot of thunderstorms I've experienced. I remember hearing the zap/buzz of the lightning before the thunder...a very strange thing. Maybe there was some induced current making that sound. It was enough to make me get out of the doorway and move further inside. It can be quite a display. Smiles!!

Hello Lin Lang, Sometimes the thunder is so loud it is hard to sleep. If you have a pet you must comfort the pet. Hugs. /Darlene/

Hi Darlene and thank you very much. I've no pet since losing my kitty, Bella 2 years ago. Pups seem to need more calming than cats, or so I've noticed.

I look forward to reading your thunderous Hiku, written as its roar supplied your thoughts as if a muse. Thanks a lot for your fine remarks and the light you send my way.
