Thunder

I will roar, I am not a bore. My loud sound may put you on the floor, or hiding behind a door. They tell children I am angels bowling, no I am thunder rolling. The rain and I like to go growling, while the sun and I like to go strolling. What ever you hear, please do not be afraid my dear.

Lovely personification. As a child, I was terribly afraid of thunder and lightning and used to hide in dark rooms with my fingers plugged to the ears. Reading this poem, I am once more taken to those innocent childhood days. Beautifully written dear Paula. Wish you a Happy Easter.

I have a rat terrier and she is terrified of thunder. She gets upset hours before it even gets here. I don't know if she is hearing it that far away or if it is the change in the barometric pressure. Enjoyed reading your contest entry. Reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Thanks for sharing it with us and dropping by. Sara K
