A poem in Dixdeux form (described following the poem)

It's raining again and I'm stuck inside.
There's nothing to do. I want to go out.
Thunder!

I don't want to be struck dead by lightening,
so I guess I'll just watch TV or read a book.
Thunder!

The flashes and crashes are unnerving,
so I close my eyes and cover my ears.
Thunder!

With eyes closed I can't read or watch TV,
so I'll sit here and let my mind wander.
Thunder!

It's jarring when BOOM hits my auricles.
But what should I expect? It's the sound of
Thunder!




Dixdeux form:
> 3 lines, 1 & 2 unrhymed.
