A raging rainstorm descends with roaring thunder and wind. Afterwards, it became still again, the air fresh, and sunny skies return.

A raging storm is brewing

It’s becoming darker

And darker outside

Winds picking up speed

Faster and faster

- – -

People ran for shelter

Not knowing what it 

Will be like next

It looks as though

It’s going to be doomsday

- – -

Rain begins a slow tapping

On our roof top

Eventually, there was quite a divulge

Cars on the streets were stuck

In water of the flood

- – -

Thunder roared

Lightening flashed

Again and again

We hope that the storm

Would go away

- – -

This went on for over an hour

Then it abated

Leaving outside still

With the air smelling fresh

- – -

Crystal droplets of water

Linger on the leaves of trees

Puddles now occupy the ground

Where children play

With tadpoles and frogs

- – -

Nature has once again

Demonstrated her beauty

As sunny skies appear
