Smokey Day Poem by Deborah Cromer

Within seconds the wind began to stir
Swirling everything around into a thickening blur
The trees shook and things fell from the sky
I found the feeling that make some cry
Lapping loudly against the open shore
The water reaching the edge to explore
Dark clouds grew and came rolling in
That is when I knew things were about to begin
The rain fell and the thunder broke free
Leaving only great streaks of lightning to see
The rain all got together forming little streams
The sun shone through the clouds down in single beams
The air grew cold and formed with the mist
Only silence was left to exist
