Strong Storm


The storm came with strength in the night
Fierce lightening bolted to the ground
Thunder pounded, deafening sound
Flashes were everywhere in sight

The sky turned orange in the dark
Vibrations could be felt inside
It was severe, no choice to hide
Ongoing strikes, spark after spark

Roaring continued for hours
The storm seemed to circle not leave
I needed patience for reprieve
Then, more bolts lit up like towers

It seemed like one big angry fist,
Shaking across land West to East
It was behaving like a beast
Determined to be heard, not missed

Heard it was, all around and clear
I hadn't seen it last so long
Echoes of drums without a song
Haunting my breaths as it stayed near

Kim Rodrigues Date: 7/24/2024 5:59:00 PM Wow! We had one storm many years ago where a strong storm hung over the house all night. We slept downstairs. Did you ever see the movie with Adrienne Basbeau: The Fog. My daughter had watched with me and at one point we heard what sounded like a knock at the door…we had a good laugh. Love your poem! Storms are cool as long as they don’t get you. Hugs
