Thunderstorm Watch

There’s a thunderstorm watch
Though it’s sunny outside
So I don’t feel the need
To take cover or hide.

Yet it may come to call
Like the weatherman said
And that knowledge will fill
Many people with dread.

But I don’t feel afraid;
I don’t need to be out.
If the thunder goes boom
I’ll enjoy it, no doubt.

For when Nature decides
She has reason to vent,
I admire her pluck
(To a certain extent).

There is nothing quite like a thunderstorm resounding across the Sonoran Desert, but in Manhattan is like watching TV - constant interruptions! Enjoy! She's coming your way!

I used to be terrified of thunderstorms, because of the lightning. Here in Florida, damage from lightning is common. I'm not afraid anymore, as I got used to them. I enjoyed your poem, Ilene! Blessings, Kim M
