Scary Moments
When thunder howled to burn the sky
as lighting rods seemed to betray,
this night so bleak, it can’t defy
wild rainstorm flooding streets in gray.
Till darkness sprawled like ghostly frame
when thunder howled to burn the sky,
to crush each tree and post aflame
and even drowning birds nearby.
Lives feared the wrath of sea’s outcry
for tempest burst on gates ,enraged
when thunder howled to burn the sky
invading more homes disarranged.
I watched the sun clear lanes’ debris
when daytime came pricked like cacti;
a terror wiping city’s glee
when thunder howled to burn the sky.
