First a flash, then crack.
Lightening comes pre thunder,
always the earth shakes.

Spring Enchantment a love poem
Spring Enchantment (a love poem)
As wisps of clouds creeped
overhead before a storm moving quickly east,
the moon lay down his vanilla beams
to dispel the darkness hiding our bared feet —
set side by side — romantically
touching for warmth, for love, for eternity,
hopefully, to envelop us, like the coming rain
in our lives’ thundering, combined heartbeats
…joined into

Severe Thunderstorms
Beneath California's boundless skies,
Nature roars with all her might,
In thunderous tantrums that arise.
Severe storms, where heavens rupture,
A dance of chaos, wild and free,
Electric bolts, a vivid rapture,
Unleashing fury upon the sea.
The skies grow dark, the winds arise,
As thunder drums its fearsome beat,
Rain cascades from the sullen skies,
In torrents, mingling with the street.
A symphony of majesty

Thunderstorms
Something about a thunderstorm
that takes my thoughts beyond the norm,
as up above in other worlds-
a battle in the skies unfurls.
Those thunder booms, like cannons roar
and growl as dark clouds clash in war,
then send explosions through the sky,
as lightning sparks the battle cry.
How deafening a roar it makes-
for miles, like sonic booms, it breaks;
so minuscule

Campfires and Thunderstorms
Campfires and Thunderstorms
Campfires and thunderstorms:
Heads poke out from under cover
To see clouds bursting
That swell the river.
Ears prick to hear tree-snapping sounds
As lightning cracks and thunder booms.
Torrential rains pour down to soak the ground;
The firewood gets wet, and the tent becomes waterlogged.
Dismal and miserable, the campers reflect;
Then, their eyes fix upon the canoe tucked away,
Still overturned

The Way of It
It’s thunderstorm country around here.
They roam the boiling, hot, southern skies
on legs of lightning, like dark, angry trolls.
My Chinese roommate is impressed with them
because as menacing and mountainous and electrical
as they seem, through the trees whip and the rain
lashes - like special effects - no real damage is done.
Love

Anne Will You Ever Answer
Anne will you ever Answer

What toys were projected
Into your dreams
Were children permitted in
Dreamland back then
Or did you stand on the outside
Fenced in by the calendars of
Another time

What sounds scared you
Did they come from thunderstorms
Was it a lonely wind sent to
Send you into tumbleweed insanities
Ultimately
Caught in the barbs of fences

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.

Ceraunophiliac - a Suzette Sonnet
In awe, I welcome Thor with utmost glee.
The powerful celestial force set free
amongst the hills and over the coarse scree.
The winds that whip and slink — the hailstones loudly clink.
Flashes segue to link — I quell the urge to blink.
My pulse quickens at the rank petrichor.
I ignore being drenched, making my

Far More Worse Things In Life To Fear Than Thunderstorms and Lightning
As nightly rituals go
Mine is whattapping my old
sister good night in South Africa
And tonight she said a storm is
a brewing
And the only thing that South Africa
does better than extreme corruption
is electric thunderstorms
So much so when she was a child
she used to creep into my parents
bedroom
So my Dad could cradle
her while keeping her safe

Whimsical Thunderstorm
Drifting dark clouds race to blanket the sun
Not a bird nor insect or creature in sight
Momentarily stillness…
Tree branches brace
As silence overcomes the debris engulfed winds
Lightning supplying the only inkling of light
A sudden rumble breaks the anticipation of what’s to come
Rain begins to mist
Wind gust enhances
Clouds vigorously churn
Thunder crackles intensify
Downpour surges, drenching all in its path

Thunderstorms and I Have An Oath
Of course others occupy my thoughts
Not during this thunderstorm
Because I am concentrating on her beauty
Thunder. Lightning. I am enthralled and impressed.
Obviously a nature lover, I am open to the storm
She is prancing and dancing through my mind tonight
Not in the forefront, but I cannot help but feel her power
Observe her fortitude and grace
I shall

Thunderstorms Interlude
Sinews like steel traps,
Contracting and expanding.
Rhythm of movements
In fluidic four-four time;
Black stallion racing the wind.

The Song of Storms
Whistle, rumble, tap, tap, tap
The song of storms is like no other
The wind whistles a quiet tune,
Caresses your eardrums
And you're sure if you left the house
It'd caress your face as well
The thunder rumbles around you
Its gentle rumbles resonating through your
