Poetry Jam Thunder and Lightning

More verse, though none worse, can be found here

Thunder and lightning

Are awfully frightening;

I shiver and shake,

And quiver and quake,

My muscles tightening

And knuckles whitening

At every flash

And deafening crash.

Lightning and thunder

Make me go under

The bedclothes at night,

Right out of sight.

Nerves ripped asunder

I worry and wonder

Why I’m such a clot

And growing so hot!

Donner und blitzen

Make my head splitzen!

The rumbling ceases,

Courage increases,

I pour out a spritzing

Of soda and gin sling

To celebrate quiet,

Cessation of riot. 

SkyWatch Friday Season 4 Episode 37

This afternoon the sky became very dark, the clouds ominous and there was thunder, lightning, hail and then heavy rain. I took the photographs from inside the conservatory.

It was nothing in comparison to what Perth, Australia, experienced earlier this week!

I wish I could paint as well as Nature  . . .

The garden is flooded -again! but hey! the clocks go forward on Sunday so the weather should become more reliable then - shouldn't it?
