Line Gauthier Poet Personification

Thunder Makes Me Flinch

I’d like to think
I’m bold and brave
Who am I fooling
I’m not
Never will be!
I’m a wimp
A sissy and a shrimp
I tremble
Like a leaf
At the roar
Of thunder
And run to hide
Under my covers
Till it’s over...
That’s right
It’s true
I’m a wimp
A sissy and a shrimp
   ~ Woof Woof
