Mugginess building
Yellowing skies
reckon we’ll soon be
in for surprise
Distant rumbling
of the thunder
Overhead dark
clouds asunder
Spatters of rain
smack the ground
as people shelter
all around
Then the crack
Electric lightning
It’s scary but
It’s quite exciting
Thunderstorms
my favourite thing
Make me want
to shout and sing
