The Thunderstorm

When the tree in the bush 
are yearning and the blue 
skies are angry, the dark 
clouds will blaze and bark

so when the dark cloud
are crying out loud
and the leaves are drinking,
I know nature is the one singing

Singing songs of succor
to the plants that are poor,
who’s beating the drums?
…the thunderstorms

Yeah, I never really thought about it, but T-storms are a pretty good write! I might have to try one out. Hey, did you know you have a moving haiku in there? : When the tree in the bush - are crying out loud - who’s beating the drums? >8)

Strange coincidence Adeleke. I see we both wrote about "thunderstorms". Your imagination is very creative and vivid. Good work.
