Summer Storm Poem by Holmes Jim

Nasty, vile, reckless storm,
Summer's day suddenly transforms,
Striking lightening abruptly cracks,
As angry clouds go on the attack,

Caught in the open, within it's path,
I suffer through an icy bath,
Soaked to the bone and freezing cold,
I'm homeward bound as it's wrath unfolds,

It's vengeful temper rages on,
Hurling hail across the lawn,
But at last, I'm safe inside,
Waiting till the worst subsides,

Howling it sweeps on through town,
Losing strength as it settles down,
Bluer skies now press for reform,
Crowding out the unwelcome storm,

As quieter skies commence to clear,
A brilliant rainbow bids its premiere,
When finally heavens waters wane,
A summer's day is calm again.
