Notes About The Poem

Summer Thunder

June morning promising, bright
Hours full of silky light
Framed by ominous smokey gray foresight

Until the warning rumble of rain
Brings the cloud's revenge on sun's domain

The tumbling water's weight gathers vice
Layering grass in diamond-cut ice
Our season's roses, crystallized
Under dazzling sheen of glacier guise
With summer thunder, harmonized.

Thanks, this was inspired by an actual thunderstorm that happened a while ago out in my neck of the woods-

Such a nicely crafted write about how summer storms awaken, arise, and rumble through...This sure describes the process in Chicago, yet in such a unique, poetic way. ~ Gershon
