A Poem a Day (153): Thunder


Morning, or afternoon! Here’s another poem using the idea of picking a word, brainstorming words to describe that word, and creating something. JD Mader’s 2minutesgo writing event is taking place now until the end of Sunday, so head over to his website to write some flash fiction or poetry, and read other people’s work, and get feedback. I just posted this over there too. Have a groovy day!

Thunder

A crack in the darkening,
The Nimbus speak in roars
Rolling to suffocate the skies.

Lightning punches in forks
Of white, rain cascading,
Its torrent sweeping dirt scrawls.

This vivid, livid power strike
In humid arms. Dank breath,
Smoking, crashing, water lashing
The dust bowl, sparking thunder.
