A perfect summer storm

One by one the clouds darkened

The blue sky all but gone

A perfect storm was approaching

Rain had been falling

Drizzle at first, trying to break

The summer heat

A few more drops start

Moving across the windscreen

Rain becomes heavier

Creeks start swelling

A perfect summer storm is approaching

A clash of thunder in the distant hills

The lights go out, the wind gathers more rain

Flooding gutters, flowers flutter in the rain

Oh! the steamy rain in the perfect summer storm

A streak of lightening, sends branches falling

Your heart skips a beat, as creeks begin to swell

Like a devil shooting an arrow, the earth is now silent

A dull grey sky covers the landscape

Searching for a breath of blue sky

Amongst the perfect summer storm

Rain pelts against the windows

Shredding flowers, though

Drenching the parched ground

As the storm passes

There is a silence

As though the sky has held it's breath

The clouds roll faster each second 

Rain drops sit on the leaves, boldly

Lightening, thunder rolls in the distant hills

A battle song of summer in the country

White clouds float now

Blue sky sneaks a peak

The earth has now revolved around

A summer storm

The earth has calmed

The last fragments of the storm

Hang in the morning breeze

A silent breeze drifts in

Well done! I also love to watch storms build and climax. The simmer in the aftermath. It is a microcosm of our life paths ...
