The storm


The sky is black with rage
As the rain lashes down
Winds blasting from the west
As the earth starts to drown

Batten down the hatches
This storm will be so fierce
Many trees bent over
Howling gales that pierce

Brollies turned inside out
This storm`s so frightening
Skies dark just like night time
Lit up by flash lightning

Best to be inside now
As the storm rages on
We`re safe from the torrent
`Till the light of the dawn.....


I remember the storms of my childhood and how they seemed so bad.   Now that I`m an adult, they never seem to frighten me as they did then.  Just reminiscing really.
