Stellar and Ostentatious: A Thunderstorm Performs

in #poetry7 years ago

A stellar performance
thunderstorm moving across the land
rain coming down in sheets
lightening ostentatiously joins the band

Strikes to the left
then the thunder roars
moving effortlessly
the land craves more

Rain coming down hard
the river moves beyond its banks
gushing torrid waters
causing some landscape to be blank

Another lightening strike
hitting metal full force
electricity is present everywhere
power changing course

Wild beauty in the sky
an electric light show
the full force of nature
causing land and sky to glow

The storm ends
rainbow in the sky
the finish to a fine performance
the sun is on standby
