Cold N Hot

The waves crashed on shore; lightning flashed
Blackbird scattered from a nearby tree
A few whitetail deer quickly lashed
It was quite the spectacle; I did see

The thunder rumbled. The clouds did form
Droplets of rain turned to a drenching pour
I admired in awe as I watched this storm
Saturated ground; I sought shelter once more

Soon it did pass; the sun popped out
The heat did arise; I did miss the rain
I asked for more showers; this I did shout
But like always, I was ignored once again

I know that this doesn't count as a tragedy
But I'd give anything to get rid of this humidity!
