Hear the thunder echoing about
A sky with a green hue
The sign of hail on the way
Lighting giving a great show
Like a fireworks display.
And in the morning
Where once the plants
Were dying from the heat
Now covered with a blanket of white.
Which many have never seen.
During the night
While most slept
Winter had stolen the Summer
And left a winter scene.
Nearly forget the devastation
With such a wonderous scene
The day in Summer
When the land down under
Woke to a Winter scene.
(* Feb 28th.... Canberra Australia's capital... was turned into winter *)
This is Natures show of emotions against the devastation that we wreak on her. Well portrayed with good visual imagery. Love...TO
Love this Alison, I think global warming is doing some very strange things. We had hailstones in August once, such a bizarre sight when you've been sitting enjoying the sunshine! HG: -) xx

Very nice imagery used here, Alison. I like the line, 'Winter had stole the Summer and left a Winter scene.' Nice. L
