Thunder

Thunder Terrified dogs Howl, yelp and whine Cowering under tables and chairs Skulking in the far corners Crouching down Shaking with fear Trying to escape From the deafening peals of thunder, And we humans Proud, arrogant creatures Strutting across the face of the earth Feel more than a little humbled, When the heavens roar.

Love it my friend. It makes me laugh when here in Liverpool we have thunderstorms and people go on about it. Because i grew up in Florida South Africa and have seen lightning turn night into day with claps of thunder so lound they made the windows buckle I absolutely love it's on a par with watching fire or waves crashing on a beach

I like this, although I have a cat to comfort every time the thunder howls, I know that it must. well done.

This makes me think of my dog who heard a cannon once and ever since, is afraid of thunder and shakes in fear. Well done! :)
