This is a poem from my book "When I Have Gone Away" on Lulu.com |
| The Storm Lying motionless in the dark Listening to the splatter of the rain Upon my window pain Tap… tap… splat! Suddenly! KABOOM! KABOOM! The rumbling of the drum The house trembles… Windows rattle… Sliding slightly beneath the covers I begin to count Ten… nine…eight FLASH! FLICKER! The room lights up… Shadows dance with delight KABOOM! KABOOM! The wailing of the drum Hush… hush… whispers the tree Wind whipping through its leaves Spat… splat…tap! The rains frantic rhythm Slightly changes its tune Perhaps weary of its song Seven… six…five Kaboom! Kaboom! The wailing of the drum! But wait… Does the drum beat softer now? Flash! The room lights up… Shadows dance… Three… two… one At last! Its song is done |
