Thunder In the Dawn

the thunder in your voice precocious in the dawn
     mighty tower of white crashing down a frothy song
          as sand shook beneath my shore planted feet
               the rushing wave covered the beach like a sheet

A thunderous cacophony of sound! Certainly, as Andrea remarks, very spectacular...creates a notable impression. Very well penned, Jeanne. All the very best. :) john

I love storms...even though this last one has wiped out my small Mexican village pretty heavily. Clean up is underway but will take awhile...
