Gregory Joseph Firlotte Poet Free verse

Thunderstorms

I shutter the windows
and secure the doors
and seal myself
in inner rooms
far from 
the booms
the flashes
the shivering static
that shoots 
through the air
on these summer afternoons
when no one is here.

Brian Sambourne December 27, 2022 at 7:32 PM In your poem, I like the destabilizing fear thunderstorms induce, juxtaposed with the need to shutter one's self safely away. Best wishes, Brian Gregory Joseph Firlotte December 28, 2022 at 3:26 PM Thank you, Brian. Much appreciated. It's true that I still shutter myself inside when I hear thunder approaching!
