Weather To Inform
Observing the clouds roll in
Could be penance for a sin
Bright light darken
Thunderous barking
Severe weather alert
Important advisory stimulates and flirts
Informing debatable spectacle is near
Find shelter to avoid the heavenly tear
Worthy to be indoors with the favorite beer
A major temper tantrum is here
Unleashing a ferocious fear
Using clapping sounds
Water pounding the ground
Getting things out of the system
Is the developing storm’s hissing
There is a wonderful sight
If safely distanced from the fight
A galactic crackling show
With flashy glows
Display in the sky
Electricity flying high
There are warnings
Stating close up those awnings
Shutting down torrential visual effects
Cash in those rain checks
Proceed with caution
When the weather is tumbling and tossing
For the respectful mind
Can find
An enjoyable time
On nature’s dime
Getting in over one’s head
It is said
Could be a dangerous debt
Care is needed
Dealing the meteorological cards that are heated
Distributing messages repeated
Listen and learn
Try not to get the million to one lighting burn
It all comes down to being concerned
About the terms
Watched and confirmed
After all the rumblings take their turn
