It Comes
18 July, 2006

Uh-oh,
The rain starts
Falling harder, harder, harder, harder!
POW! POW! POW! POW!
Upon the sidewalk
And then my sky lights up.
Uh-oh!
GRRROWL!
And crap!
The thunderstorm is here!
The wind howls in glee.
I take my stuff upstairs
The farther away I am from the window
The better!

Talk to Me
18 July, 2006

Growl.
Rumble, rumble.
Flash, crshk, crackle.
Silence, and then...BANG!
Rumble, rumble,
Growl,
Purr.
Ah, the language of thunderstorms!
