Summer Storms

Inspired by summer storms. We've had a few mixed in with hotter days. The nighttime one can be beautiful.

like hands clapping together,
booming meets blackish-gray skies. 
white and silver streaks implode in 
vaults of obscurity. raindrops are melodies,
housetops, and asphalt instruments they play.
there's a blueness that appears as clouds roll by.
a seriousness is captured in storm winds blowing 
through trees. branches bending, dancing, in the night,
sometimes rubbing against one another, and slapping 
windowpanes.

I don't think I could find a better description for storms. The imagery is sensational and it plays on the senses, leaving us in the midst of the storm. Love it.

Hey maria. Thanks for the kind words. I liked to create poems based on observations a lot. You will see that in a lot of what I write. Things I see, think, feel, wanted to understand.

that is wonderful ! everyone is different, that is what makes us all Unique individuals . I usually write by my feelings and through life experiences. But to know- we as writers are learning and teaching in a way we don't even realize- is special. >> and meeting new friends :)

I enjoy watching storms as long as they don't hurt anyone. The lightning shows I saw last week with bolts and flashes of bright light emanating inside huge cloud masses were stunning. This poem captures that essence for me.
