Thunderstorms

The horirzon darkens with ominous clouds

Off in the distance a rumble is heard

Jagged lightning lights up the sky

Thunderstorms are rolling by

A crack of thunder is heard nearby

Static fills the air, as the dark clouds approach

Wind whipping the trees, and shedding their coats

The smell of rain is in the air

Fast approaching storms are coming toward

Goosebumps cover the neck

A loud clap of thunder is heard overhead

Jagged lightning reaches the ground

Summer thunderstorms are the loudest around

The sky is black and churning clouds

Oh no, there's a twister forming

Ready to touch the ground

Minutes pass, as everyone holds their breath

Is the twister coming, or receding back?

Up in the clouds the tornado goes

Bated breath is exhaled

The black clouds open up

Torrential rain is coming down

Wind blows hard to the west

Rain pellets beat against the window pane

Rivulets of water starts to form

Torrential rain is on the ground

Washing away all in its path

The rain starts to recede, leaving distaster in its path

The storm has come and left its rain

A freshness in the air from the summer storm

The sunshine peeks through the clouds

The summer storm is no more

I love free form poetry and I love nature. I have always been fascinated with thunderstorms and the power they have in nature.
