Summer Storm

Last week, I found myself, quite unexpectedly, in the midst of a wonderful thunderstorm. It had been sunny only moments before, then, suddenly, the sky darkened and thick rain began to fall. The heart of the storm never got all that close, but there were some dazzling strokes of lightning and long, rolling bouts of thunder. A good storm is a lovely thing, and ought not to be enjoyed from indoors!


Summer Storm

Deep-throated, a threatening cloud
overshadows the sky.
Clothed in wet, windy shroud,
it intones a reply
in a voice, gruff and loud,
to the summering crowd:
Not a soul will stay dry!
