Thunder
Your lightning bolts, as you approach
Still fill us all with wonder!
…until we hear you’re getting close!
Are you the god of thunder?
Flash across the summer sky
With fearsome din, intense!
Then, touch the ground from upon high!
We cower, no defense!
Jupiter, or maybe Thor?
You’ve gone by many names…
The last bolt made me cake my drawers!
…and, now my barn’s aflame!
I pray that you will leave me be
To get along your way
Damn! You split my Walnut tree!
Celestial horseplay!
Who is this wind, who follows you?
I thought that Aura drowned?
That bitch is a tornado now?
She’s flattening our town!
You’ve left rubble in your wake
And blown down all our trees!
Please don’t return, for all our sakes
Until you’re just a breeze!
The summer weather’s turbulence
Can take on many forms
Mother Nature’s merciless
She loves her summer storms!
I love this! It’s very well crafted and your word play was excellent.
I’m not one for summer storms either. I know many people who are, no clue why.
Thank you so much!
