wild swoop over wheat
blackbirds caw in unison
ominous wing beat
storm clouds darken horizon
thunder rumbles threat of hail

thunder bowls on roof
lightning scores strike across lawn
rain cheers at windows
find your ball and pay for shoes
no one can sleep in alley!

It’s dry and we’re hoping for rain soon (link to Kristjaan’s prompt at CDHK).
loud rumble and flash
wind whipping drops of moisture
prairie’s night drama

approaching thunder
rural towns and farms flooded
pouring rain again
power of lightning
splits mature tree to toothpicks
exploding the air
winds bending treetops
scanning skies for dark funnels
praying there’s no hail
after summer storm passes
a double rainbow appears
a poem in my pocket
