The Storm!

The sound of thunder a cracking in the sky

sends a fright as it goes by.

The Winds a whipping through the air

Fly's by with out a care.

Rain a tapping

a tapping on your heads,

as you lay quietly in your beds.

The sounds of a storm 

sweeping the night,

 sends little children to bed with a fright.

The storm the storm

that sweeps through the night,

do you intend to scare children and give them a fright?

With the thunder a cracking 

a cracking through the sky,

and a winds a whipping 

a whipping on by.

The storm does not mean

to make you cry,

it just wants to slip

slip on by.

Good by a storm

and have a good night,

I know you do not mean

to give children a fright

This makes me feel just as young as a child cowering under the covers, fascinated yet frightened by the storm outside the windows. Greatly done.

A very descriptive and wonderful piece. Only thing that I saw that you could get rid of is in brackets "rain [a] tapping, [a tapping] on your heads." I think that rain tapping on your heads should be one sentence but that I just my opinion. Other than that, you really captured a lightning storm. Beautifully written. Keep on writing!

The photo was a great addition to your words. You captured the essence of a how some storms can be very frightening to experience.

Photo gave life to this excellent poem. The big storms can scare the animals and kids. Some adults too. I like the story in this poem. Thank you for a outstanding poem.

Greatly written, it depicts a storm very well. I like the third stanza, it speaks of rain falling down, a sound I've loved since childhood. Amazing write!
