Rain Tonight

A poem I wrote for the River of Words contest

Natural static

Swaying in the wind

A low  swelling to a  BANG

roar

Sharp dots behind the Crackle

Slowly take the foreground

That one, Fierce split of air,

Rumbling across

   the  

A    T     M O  S    P      H  E     R E

Then quick,  L

Casts SHADOWS upon the formerly unseen

Darker,

my

visage

T i l t e d  u p  and eyes shut tight

Lighting,  

Thunder,

 rain tonight

On Google Drive, there are many more fonts available, so this looked cooler on there... Aesthetics though
