An ominous dark
is the sky above.
The silent fading sun,
it over taken swiftly.
Such power in the gusts,
as the show begins.
An opening overture
to a magnificent show.
Electric blue flashes,
and deep purple flares;
the accompaniment;
to a melody
of ghastly haunting roars.
Trees begin to sway;
then dance in rapid motion.
Tiny glittering gems to do fall,
to swell with strength and pride.
Glorified raindrop dancers
arrive to close this show;
beginning this final act.
Chaos reaches a crescendo,
then diminuendos down to nothing.
It all just ended;
everything just stopped.

Ever watched a summer thunderstorm? This is how it goes. Enjoy. I hope I did well.
Ummm... Option six I think. (The nature one...)

Wow.. I really like the imagery in this poem. I have to say, my favorite stanza is:
"Electric blue flashes,
and deep purple flares;
the accompaniment;
to a melody
of ghastly haunting roars."
It just gives so much, description, to a summer storm.
Wonderful write, and good luck! -
Very visual and imaginative... yeah i can seee this happening in my head. great work... did have a bit of an awkward flow but other than that really good.

The only thing I would do is drop the "s" in "raindrops". Otherwise, this is an excellent way to see a summer storm. And you're right - this is how the storms go. I especially liked the last stanza...something just struck me about it. And I don't think it was lightning. (Yea, yea...I had to try the joke.
)
Great poem, and good luck reading it at the performance thing!

Totally wonderful, there is nothing like the weather to act like a muse is there, the other day I looked outside to the awful weather and wrote 'Dark and Heavy skies' Its winter here but our weather has been unusually warm, you can wear a t-shirt all day even on the stormy ones.
You have captured the magic of a summer storm so well, I love storms, (particularly summer ones) as long as they don't blow the roof off or something equally as devastating. Keep up your wonderful work.

Musical! That's what I first thought as I read your poem. I've never really thought of comparing a summer thunderstorm to a musical, and even so, the results were amazing! My fave part is the last stanza. I do wish you the best of luck for the reading of this wonderful piece tommorow...and don't worry, with an amazing piece that's written by a talented writer like you, it reading should go smooth as peanut butter (the smooth ones, not the chunky ones!)

WOW!!! This is really good! I never thought of a thunderstrom like that. I always thought they were something bad.....at least thats how I picture them when I'm writing. This poem shows a different side that I never would have imagined.
Great Job Sis!
