Storms

Vivid lightning flashed, thunder rolled
Fascination drew me to see
The storm's strength flooded my soul
Vivid lightning flashed, thunder rolled
Rain poured, water its power extols
The creek out of its bank rushed free
Vivid lightning flashed, thunder rolled
Fascination drew me to see

Storms are indeed fascinating. And can be terrifying. We had Sandy up here. Plenty of damage. I recently purchase of postcards with poems on them. I write regularly for a collectibles magazine - and get paid something(!). Please let me know what you think of my Jewish baseball poem. Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Dang, why didn't I do a triolet? I never got around to this one because of time, and it never occurred to me to try a triolet. You are a smart cookie. congrats for your fine win.
