Weather (One Subject I Just Love Writing About!) Poem by Emma Alberts

Clouds
Small, fluffy feathers
Fallen from the pillow
Of the gods and angels above

Rain
Tears of sadness
Falling from a cloud
That cries at a death

Twisters
Swirling vortexes of beauty
Not doom for
It doesn't mean to hurt anyone

Hurricanes
Sweeping through villages
Tearing them apart
With the eye of a tiger

Fog
A white darkness
Surrounding you
Then vanishing
As mysteriously as it came

Lightning
Flashing electricity
Sending a spark
For this reall kiss

Then thunder
Making the moment
Better than it is

(P.S. I wrote about this because I want to be a storm chaser when I'm older. Or a poet. Or a photographer. Or an Olympic gold runner. Those would all be really cool... But I'll just keep dreaming til they happen!)
