Very nice Minute Poem! I love thunderstorms as well...
Something about nature asserting her power thrills me.
There's a word for us!

Thank you Karenina. That another word I can add to my description. My daughter claims I'm an enigma. I've been called other things as well, like a dream popper. lol

Comment from GoWiSt
Very nice complementary picture art choice. The scene looks so tranquilly idyllic.
Good rhymes and reading flow.
"Their years have pasted" Did you mean passed?
Beautifully met the line, stanza, syllable count and rhyme scheme of this interesting poem form and contest. This should do very well. Good luck!

This is a great entry for the Minute contest.
I love storms but the lightning has to be way off in the distance for me to enjoy that part of the stormy skies.
Thank you for sharing this with us and I hope you do well in the contest.

Strange to read of the sky turning black on Eclipse day. We couldn't see it from here. Did you? Thank you for this beautiful word picture of April's storm, fury, and drama.

Thank you Jim. If I not been trying so hard. I wouldn't have noticed the eclipse. I didn't have the glasses I needed but when it just a sliver of light showing was able to see it through a light cloud cover. I got about as dark as it would have with a thunder storm outside.

At least you got a little darkness. It did not cross our path!
Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
An excellent entry for the Minute Poetry Contest. Wonderful descriptive images in this piece. I can almost smell the air. And you aren't strange at all. I absolutely love a summer thunderstorm both during the day when you can feel and smell the air change and at night when you can watch the lightning show. Nicely done. Good luck in the contest.

This is a wonderfully written minute poem for the contest, and I wish you the very best in the contest. I also hope that you have a very pleasant day and I hope that you get to see at least a part of the eclipse it's taking place across our country right now. Patricia .

I certainly hope that you don't have to suffer another tornado Beth. Your poem about April sounds like you have been experiencing some rain just lately. I enjoyed your rhymes and metre, a fine Minute poem, love Dolly x

Thank you Dolly. I lover sping and today a rainy day. It it my favorite kind rain. I like the quick storms that make a lot of noise and then move one. This one is going to be light rain all day.
Comment from Ric Myworld
I love thunderstorms. Always have. My grandmother would scream for me to get in the house and the minute she turned her back, I'd be right back outside, swinging on the porch. And it hasn't changed. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

It seems you and I have that in common. I loved swinging on the porch during thunderstorms. My grandpa did to so he would be on the swing with me.

Thank you Barbara. I appreciate the review and comments. I like the high winds that blow trees don't in my driveway.

Comment from Mark Jackson
Fantastic, that is so much stronger, than my first reading, 5 stars I really like this, it is good it is quite an exciting read and a fascinating subject. This had so much potential but the start lets it down. Your rhyming scheme is meant to be aabb I feel but unfortunately it is actually XXaa. Build does not rhyme with thrill. I am happy to give you a five if you work out how to get it to rhyme. Thrilled for example rhymes. Good Luck and thanks for sharing.

Thank you Mark. Your right Thrill isn't a perfect rhyme but thrilled is so I've changed it.

I will have a look, I think you will have made it better. I think the first rhyme is the most important and so I had to mention it.
