The rumble of the skies

Amidst the falling of the rain

And the howling of the winds

Sings a melody, so entrancing

Tis sweet music to my ears

 

Inspired by the events currently taking place outside my window.  🙂

Another rumble pierces the quiet

The start of another raucous riot

Thunderous sounds, lightning flashing

Clouds open up, rain falls, thrashing

Pummeling nature, impeding paradise

Flowers lay fallen, a cruel sacrifice

Through open curtains, I see it unfold

Watching as skies become uncontrolled

Then my eyes grow heavy, to stay awake I must fight

Til I fall asleep, to the sound of the rain, in the night

A Storm Passes By ~ #poetry #freeverse

The winds blow strong

Like a storm, passing by

Quickly, taking all in its path

Leaves on the trees, rustling

A low pitch whistle, their cry

Of forceful air, as they gather

In a swirling dance, rhythmic

Sending them spiraling

Into places unknown

Much like the night

After the rumbling thunder

Has long been forgotten…

What is that Noise? ~ #shortstory

The sound, thunderous, like a storm unbridled. I held my head in my hands to stop the pain. It didn’t work, as the harder I pressed my fingers to my temples, the stronger the pounding became. I tried burying myself under a pillow, perhaps it would muffle the noise. I tried a different room. The sound dissipated, but only slightly, becoming a rather obnoxious thud, a cacophony of war drums, incessant and ceaseless. I dared to release my hands from my head and journey back into the other room, hoping the echoing had subsided and I could return to the peaceful silence I had before, but alas, there it was. That irritating rhythm, that knocking, that, now, what the ….? Who’s yelling?? Who’s yelling?!!

 

Hello!! Anyone home? Pizza delivery!
