Stormy Clouds
Shapes of cotton wool clinging to each other
Shutting out the sun with its white and grey cover
The air becomes thick as clouds start to darken for rain
Thunder rumbles faintly at first the flash, then thunder again
Before the storm arrives the air is so suppressive
The stormy clouds approaching look so impressive
The air is still not a sound can be heard
Nothing can be heard now not even a bird
As the storm starts to rage explosive thunder booms
Animals scatter for cover as impending danger looms
Large spots of rain falling slowly at first
Drowning the dry earth with its power at its worst
The storm is more powerful as it gets nearer
The storm clouds above stop the sky being clearer
The rain pounds down as the storm is in full force
This continues as it follows its intended course
Rain bounces high as it strikes the dry ground
The animals are sheltering they are not around
The clouds are passing slowly on their way elsewhere
They can hear the thunder in the distance over there
The storm at its height is raging not abating
Rolling over hills and dales havoc its creating
Forcing upon us the extreme weather conditions
When the thunder speaks everyone listens
