Thunderous awakening
On morning's breaking
By bolt tossing Olympians
Furious champions in their sky kingdom
Who like tantrumed children
Tear gashes in the day's first light
And rend open heaven's cisterns
With wanton blows
Sending rivulets of drops
And gushes of small rivers running
To escape the wrath above

Love this and the energy you gave the beauty of nature we could write endless about.
Thank you
Thanks Lorna – that ‘s a very vivid account of a thunder storm…in the morning? For me they seem to occur late afternoon or evening here.
I suppose you don’t want to hear my interpretation of such an event? No? Thought not…too late:
The heavy booted fellas upstairs are shifting the furniture again. They’ve knocked the water tank in the process and it is pouring out. The water has short circuited the electricity supply and there are flashes everywhere…
And the fish are dead on the floor....... and the womenfolk had to clean up the mess. G'day!
Too right - the blokes had done the heavy lifting (buggered it up, but never mind) so it's the very least they can do - I hope they made a good fish pie to help keep their menfolk's strength up...How yer goin - orright?
Lorna,
Thank you for sharing a spot on description of last night’s storm…trees are down strewn in the middle of the street others resting on some cars. Ironically they were going to be pruned today and tomorrow.
I like the contrast between your choice of the pic and Beethoven’s symphony.

Thanks L - but what in the world the jet taking off has to do with anything I can't guess! Lol..........
Ah…that mighty jet!! ðŸ¤
All I had on my mind was the horrible storm I witnessed last night and the destruction it left behind.
Of course there are many kinds of storms out there that cause panic and devastation. I hope there aren’t too many casualties as a result.
Nice use of metaphore in this superb poem Lorna. Love the symphony as well.
thank you!
I had to put my rubber boots on to read your poem. Well theres sure plenty of inspiration falling from the skies where I live for a poem like this to be written.
Strong powerful words.
Thanks! It must be raining everywhere today.........
Stormy here today too, but not as scary as your poem describes. Love the video, especially the laughing baby at the end. 😉
