The Storm

The Storm

The sky was black with rage

as the rain lashed down

winds blasting from the west

as the earth starts to drown

batten down the hatches

this storm will be so fierce

many trees bent over

howling gales that pierce

brollies turned inside out

this storm`s so frightening

skies dark just like night time

lit up by flash lightning

best to be inside now

as the storm rages on

we`re safe from the torrent 

`til the light of the dawn.....

Hello Lissie, how you been? Enjoyed the frightful imagery on the telling of your storm. How it ravishes through cities and towns, those close to water get flooding and anything not as you described batten down will be destroyed. Mother Nature has quite the temper tantrums lol. Good write, I enjoyed the read.

Hi Lissie,

I agree with Devon on this piece. The descriptions through your writing are so clear and vibrant for the reader and this is a very enjoyable piece. The storms of recent times have been terrible and my heart goes out to those that have suffered through them. A lot of our local countryside has suffered greatly, especially the Lake District which is such a stunningly beautiful masterpiece of Mother Nature to behold. This piece is well written and well described. Well done for another wonderful piece for us all.

God bless and keep you safe.

G xx
