A Poem Inspired by a Storm

Rain patters on the roof Birds chirping in the trees Flashes from far off Thunder shakes the panes.

Now quiet Except for the pitter-patter of rain Dripping from the eves. Is the storm over?

Summer thunderstorms are frequent here in the Midwest. This one got my attention as I sat down to work. It rained off and on all night. The plants and lawn are loving it — God taking care of His Creation.

Have a blessed day of Reading, Writing and Connecting.
