Thunderstorm

Written for https://sammiscribbles.wordpress.com/2026/05/16/weekend-writing-prompt-468-thunderstorm/

A rumble stomps

humidity strangles the air

lightning whip of home strikes

I count the time between them

as the thunder gallops towards the dark

seconds speed until they are like enemies

on a battlefield of pain, smothering the stars

minutes increase as the sounds lose their anger

rain pours down, cool with calm.
