Notes About The Poem

      

Thunder Rolled Across the Sky

The calm before the storm opened up with fury with unnerving silence, filled the air with almost complete darkness. A storm crept within, purely focused. It swelled up and draws through an angry filled breath. With a vicious voice, eased back, exploded once and for all with wet droplets of rain. A wrenching sound with a crack of light and fire lighted up the skies. Orange flickering lights of fire was shaking everything through and through reflecting on the valley. The silence was interrupted seconds later. The fury inside continues to form. It punched a fist again, with a raging crack. Horrific piercing sounds and bright lights danced, filling the air with a roar of flaming Lions. Thunder rolled across the sky. It couldn't stop itself, and starts opening the symphony once more. Fueled by adrenaline, thunderbolts of pure terror flashed. Out-of-control slamming and crashing, an awful electric shock waves cracked, plummeted to the ground connecting and sinking into the soaked soil. A surprisingly calm came over and soothed the storm within, moving on with a view off the top of the trees and blue sky beyond. The battle was won. Precious crystal clear rain soaked the life on the ground.

We almost never have thunder and lightning here in Hawaii. Plenty of rain with high winds yet it is thrilling to listen to the rain fall. You have described the kind of storm I fear most. I know how weather can turn on a dime being from Kansas in my youth, and I am thankful for the storms here in Hawaii. Excellent Eve! Awesome imagery! Congratulations on your deserved top win! 7 :)

Thank you, Connie, I totally freak when the lighting flashes close and the thunder "Curr.. BOOOM.. " in the sky. I'm like a puppy dog I close all the curtains so I won't see the flash....

A very descriptive write of a thunderstorm, Mrs Eve. I love the thunder and lightening. I can't explain it. Most people fear storms but they attract me. Enjoyed the vivid images in your poem.
