Rain Storm

Rain storm 

Twas spectacular, storm of summer storms 
natures animosity, and fury 
Peppery grey clouds soberly transforms 
glorious day into horror story, 
silver spears pelted earth in such glory 
illuminated electrified arc 
horizon to horizon, sight blurry 
mist from evaporation, must embark 
Create pure place of sanctuary, build an ark.
