The lightning crashes with a bang
The thunder roles across the sky
The rain falls down my window pane
Racing to the bottom

The pitter patter of the drops
Helps to calm my nerves
The thunder booms with one thousand drums
To make their voices heard.

The lightning flashes above the sky
It brightens the night sky.
The bolts crack through the night
Their streaks grow ever bolder.

Minute by minute the storm grows stronger.
Growing fiercer by the hour
My eyes fill with wondrous delight
To have the joy to see such a sight.

&quot;I would rather hated million times for what i did then loved a million times for what i didn&#039;t do.&quot; - Daniel Moto<br /> &quot; I&#039;ve sought out to be the best i could posibly be but when i hit a roadblock in life what did i do, i had two choices either stay at the roadblock or i take this roadblock and make of it and go around it and achieve my goal. So, what will it be?&quot;- Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &quot;People take love like its a four letter word or just a phrase that you tell people or your friends all the time. But in reality love is much bigger than a merely phrase or 4 letter word. Instead love is a genuine promise or covenant to that special person.&quot;-Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;Why change yourself when you were made perfect and wonderfully by the creator of everything?&rdquo; &ndash; Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;If live is not hurtin then were really not living in.&rdquo; &ndash; B.

Hey primepower that was a really good poem. Awesome job on using imagery and details. I could imagine the lighting. Keep it up! Suggestion: add a hook or explain more on lighting.
