Poetry
Thunderstorm
by Stella Lewin
Standing in the pouring
Cold rain
BANG BANG,
The clouds let their fury out on me
Will it ever end
My breath turned into a cloud of whiteness
My nose stinging with every wave of lightning
A thunderstorm is anger, sadness, and a chilling breeze
Will it ever end
All the animals are safe in their homes
But I am here
Lights flashing
Voices echoing in my head
Whistles all around have I gone mad
Will it ever end
BANG BANG
Then silence like I have never heard before
The voices have ended
The whistles have stopped
But still will it ever end
