Blinding lights
Rattling windows
Rainbow appears

deep rumbles in
the distant morning sky—
I creep deeper under the covers

Angie Short (5)


summer's heat
pounding thunderstorms
dog under porch


jagged lightning in the distance
an eerie feeling haunts the air
storm cellar . . . our shelter

Kathy Cuttill (3)


Thunderstorm rages outside
snuggling down deeper in the blankets
waiting for the silence.

Kim Tish (4)


Evening summer heat
last rays of light
shimmering across waves


smell of rain
storm approaches
we watch from the backyard

Steve Wilson (4)


hear thunderstorm outside
see tear storms inside
on her pillow

Tiffany Cleary (2)


howling wind
bang of shutters
no sleep for mother


the wet road winds sharply
my headlights flash
at lovely placed flowers on the guardrail

Nicky Bachtoll (4)


wind rows
sweet smell of fresh cut hay
on the summer breeze

Frank Brannock (1)


Falling leaves
After the heavy rain
With cooling temperatures


Dark clouds
roll across the field
spring storm

Sheri Brown (3)


Lightening cracks, thunder booms
A little girl running and jumping in bed
Mommy will keep you safe


Dark clouds blowing
The cold wind frozen
Cheeks shine like red roses


bare feet splash
in the puddles on the street,
remnants of an afternoon
thunderstorm

Kris Wolbers (10)

 


a little girl
nestling in her daddy's arms
thunderstorm
