Prompt 1 ♥ Week 4 ♥ The Fear of a Thunderstorm ♥ Poem

I listened to the rain come down,
Sweat breaks out upon my wrinkled brow,
Streaks of lightning flash across the sky, I frown,
As I glance at the clock, it’s the eleventh hour!

Thunder cracked, it sounded like the heavens might split apart,
I dived under the table, chin on knees, shaking like a leaf,
Eyes wide as hail pummels the windows, my beating heart,
Thumps against my chest as the storm raged on, hoping for relief.

Lightning cracked nearby, I duck, squealing in terror,
Deafening thunder shook the house, my whole body quaked,
While thunder chased lightning, I fold my hands in prayer,
Storm began to quiet, I moan as my stiff muscles unbend, I ache!

Crawling on my belly from under the table, I stand,
Stumbled over to the coffeepot, hand on back, I grab,
A cup, pour some coffee, and drink with a shaking hand,
Sit back, sip some more coffee, and hug my cat, Tabby.
