those are the scariest!!...the thunderstorms during the night...
Cryssa

rumbling in the night and our world becomes a place unsettling -- peace and love to you my dear friend -- Jon Michael

That pre dawn thunder can shake our world! Enjoyed the poem Karla.

Thunder is quite rare here but that was not the case during my childhood in northern Alberta. I recall that thunder would literally shake the house. Your verses have brought back vivid memories. Thank you, Karla. Love and best wishes,

Regis

Egads... is it stormy weather times already! Hope you made it through the day. Stay safe Karla. ~ Sara

Karla, add my voice to the chorus that sings...Stay safe. =gene

You and Karen are both in my prayers, Karla.

Wow! I love storms. They keep us humble. Great footage, Karla! You are SO talented at writing Haiku. This is no exception. Love the "alarm clock of light" description. Brilliant. Stay safe...Lin

Oh my,this is wonderful...stay safe and well sweet lady..Hugss

Love the "pealed"/"peeled" imagery! You folks in TX have been getting tropical deluges--we could use a little of yours...

Very nice, Karla, ah... the power of thunder!

Excellent. I think it was the angels who said "fear not" a few hundred times when visiting us littluns on the Earth. I'd choose that option. Keeps well under the shadow of His wings. Hugs, J'nia

Keep Safe, StormSpinner.

A great way to express that white light that precedes thunder. Stay safe.

KARLA - substitute STORM for SICK ...

Why Worry?

There are only two things to worry about:
Either you are well or you are sick.
If you are well, then there is nothing to worry about.

But if you are sick, there are two things to worry about:
Either you will get well or you will die.
If you get well, there is nothing to worry about.

If you die, there are only two things to worry about.
Either you will go to Heaven or Hell.
If you go to Heaven, there is nothing to worry about.

But if you go to Hell, you’ll be so darn busy,
Shaking hands with friends,
You won’t have time to worry.

Please Auntie Karla, keep that thunder boom-booms stuff down there...Rufuz

Love pre dawn thunder up here in the lakes and mountains. Bounces back and forth and echos all around.

How RUDE! Being awakened by nature's thundery call in the middle of the night! LOL Then people wonder why I am scared of thunderstorms, especially at night! Very well penned; brava!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your (reluctant) chase partner and twin, Karen Lynn. :D

Ahhhh, but what an amazing show to observe. Stay safe my friend....

Be always safe,
Karen
