Strong Storm

The storm came with strength in the night Fierce lightening bolted to the ground Thunder pounded, deafening sound Flashes were everywhere in sight The sky turned orange in the dark Vibrations could be felt inside It was severe, no choice to hide Ongoing strikes, spark after spark Roaring continued for hours The storm seemed to circle not leave I needed patience for reprieve Then, more bolts lit up like towers It seemed like one big angry fist, Shaking across land West to East It was behaving like a beast Determined to be heard, not missed Heard it was, all around and clear I hadn't seen it last so long Echoes of drums without a song Haunting my breaths as it stayed near Heidi Sands 7/20/24 *8 syllables

Wow! We had one storm many years ago where a strong storm hung over the house all night. We slept downstairs. Did you ever see the movie with Adrienne Basbeau: The Fog. My daughter had watched with me and at one point we heard what sounded like a knock at the door…we had a good laugh. Love your poem! Storms are cool as long as they don’t get you. Hugs
