Thunder Storms

Boom crack flash
Turns trees to ash
Animals running in a dash
Causes cars to crash

Boom boom boom 
Lights up the room
A golfer’s doom
It’ll be over soon

Bang bang bang
Loud as a train
There’s a loud clang
Sharp as a viper’s fang

Roar roar roar
Sounds like a boar
The earth’s inner core
Cracks the back door

Wow, Steve. This has the powerful imagery and impact of a Carl Sandburg write -- and he's one of my favorites. Just last week a teen died when lightning caused a tree to crash upon her car. During the same storm a nearby home burned to the ground. Florida is the "lightning capital" of the world and you can certainly light up the sky with this write! Love, Carolyn
