So small.
Compared to something so large.
Huge piles of white billows
Stuffing for enormous pillows.
Across the marsh a few small homes can be seen.
The few trees living in the area
Provide a wonderful shade from the warm heat.
Overhead, the clouds continue building,
Creating their own unique flight patterns.
As they build they begin to change color,
Advancing into the moody stages of life.
The people in their homes can feel it coming,
As the pressure in the air increases.
Suddenly, the temper tantrum will be unleashed,
And the siblings will fight it out.
The storm will rage on intensely,
But it won't last forever.
Eventually, they get tired of fighting,
and decide to get along again,
going off to play together somewhere else.
Mother Sun enters the room then,
And she laughs in wonder at the children,
Shining forth to brighten up the moods of everyone down below,
Who, when compared with something so large, seem
So small.

Very good,
So much great imagery and the descriptive words explode from the page.
I love the "temper tantrams" of the "siblings" Such a great way to describe a storm. Children would not fear a storm if this was turned into a nursery rhyme. The last five lines are so perfect for the ending. Thank you so much for sharing
