Hazy clouds with a lightshow behind

Thunder roars and startles our mind

Lightning dances across open skies

Blindingly bright so I close my eyes

Rain starts softly to fall to the ground

Life slows as I listen, what a calming sound

Startled by the crashing noise from above

Nature serenades me with sounds that I love

Rain increases and pounds the damp ground

Making muddy puddles pop up all around

Thunder is muffled as the storm moves away

Lightning flashes like a child with a flashlight at play

All that is left is a small sidewalk flood

And bunches of puddles, filled up with mud.

I was born and raised in Ohio and now I live in Florida. I'm married and we have two children. Most important, I'm a Papa. There are a dozen poems on this site and I have a poem printed in "Stormcloud Poets second anthology".
