Quartet to the weather

Four poems inspired by different weather phenomenon

Rain

Raging torrents of down coming rain

how beautiful that can be

its pitter patter and tip tap brings no strain

its that which comforts me

Lightning

A flash of light across the sky

bright blue flames alight my eye

like the flash of a giant fire fly

one strike... its here

and then its gone

Thunder

Black clouds bring an ominous ceiling

and a rumble in the once clear skies

loud and crashing sending scary feelings

into the poor child's mind

the thunder brings the kids scared cries

but when the storm is past

the kid just laughs

"See mommy, i didn't hide"

Snow

Pretty unique flakes fall upon the earth

collect on the coldest ground

yet still the collection gives birth

to a beauty that for now is bound

to a world that looks so pure.

So new, with its sky all blue

and ground alight 

with a bright shade of white

all perfect, who knew?
