Thundersong

Soft sprinkling shower
Paper rustling in the sky
  A gift is unwrapped

  Quiet is the grass
Awaiting relief that comes
  One drop at a time

  The sky grinds his teeth
He unleashes a wild roar
  His clouds churn with wrath

  Ice rocks hit tin roofs
Ammunition from the sky
  Rings through the air

  The storm sings to me
A love song of cracks and booms
  My favorite kind

I love to listen to thunder - except when it seems like it's too close - and LOUD! This is wonderful - I especially love the first verse. Congrats on your win
