Naturish again...


Poem Artwork

Dark as Night…


 


Rufuz has not left my side,


Not since the thunderstorms did bring high tide,


Scared though he may be, he seems to like the winds ride,


The camper does shake, the awning like a sail,


Glad my work got done this morning,


Otherwise we would both be outside having to bail…


 


Rain so hard, cannot be seen across the street,


A powerful line of storms does give me a treat,


The Jeep & camper getting washed, thanks mom Nature it surely is neat…


 


Flashes of lightening, rumbles of thunder,


Rain so loud you might think the gods have come to tear us asunder,


My head does tell me that the weather has again changed,


Pounding it does through the storm that has ranged…


 


Too quiet it seems to get,


Just after the storms do pass,


Only the trees dropping their leaves and left over raindrops,


Passed us this first line of storms,


More to come per the radar, many swarms,


Rufuz and I will get a buzz tonight,


Listening to the rain coming down not so light…

Come here Rufuz don't let the rain bother you. I love a good thunderstorm. Won't see them as much out here but I will see great winter storms :-)

Oh I do like a good rollicking thunderstorm, Ed. I'll bet Katy would love this poem. She's a rain lover, too. Anytime a storm blew out the power up here, my folks would break out the scrabble board. Then we'd play scrabble by candlelight. Sometimes even after the power came back.

"Scared though he may be, he seems to like the winds ride." That is an awesome line, Ed. We are often attracted to the things which also bring fear. Nice write.
