Summer Storm

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stark and glaring, electrifying the air
illumination follows thunder's roar
as nature unleashes her fury on an
unsuspecting world. From the sultry heat
of a stormy summer's day, clouds glower
in their darkness, moving towards the climax
of a spectacle created in the heavens
as bolt after bolt of lightning rends the sky

    I enjoyed the imagery in this short poem. The stark whiteness of the lightening bolt illuminates. I think this poem would have been more effective if you had formatted it in shorter lines, but I applaud this effort. Peace, Liz
