Rainfall At Nightfall

It was stark dark,
A little after dusk.

Thunderclouds rumbled,
And heavy rain tumbled.

Children had fled from their playground,
Driven by the dismal sound.

But the aged knew better,
When a young one shook like a feather.

Home everyone went-
Each child with a parent;

Waiting for the hour of woe,
For the world had soon become a foe.
