Stormy weather at midnight

“The storm is the most gorgeous thing you’ll ever see, with the lighting striking across the skies, that is, if you are able to stay safely indoors in a warm house!” Gun Roswell

Stormy weather at midnight

A few minutes past midnight
I got quite the unexpected fright
When suddenly, a flash of bright light
Struck across the now darkened skies

There was no sound to be heard
For long moments the air just seems undisturbed
Then, the loud rumbling shook the earth
As lighting struck each and every nerve

The pouring rain soon followed
Pounding the ground until it was almost hollow
The dog walkers of late tried to follow
The trails now gone, only running on shallow

The weather from the calm and easy 
Had soon turned to something sleazy
What seemed like a nice change of pace 
Had become a totally unpleasant else

For several hours the storm in each corner howled
Like something out of a scary movie it pummelled
The trees  to each direction in the hurricane level winds were pulled
As nature had released it’s forces upon us all in full

After watching the display through the window safe
I had dosed off to a restless sleep in short waves
But as morning light cracked against my eyes
The nature was calm again, without any signs of strife

crossing

Crossing lines
There won’t be any fines
As long as you remain
Within the confines
Of the drawn lines

Odd structures
Built for the architecture
Or just for viewing pleasure?

Shopping mall
Don’t take that fall
Or you’ll end up in a stall
Full of clothes
You just bought

Footfalls
On the snowfall
Seemed quite tall
Watch out
For the down fall!

Roadside
No need to put out fires
The car has no winter tyres
Waiting for the bus
So, guess there is no fuss

Cozy window view
In winter’s interlude
If the other knew
This house
Would be crowded!

Lights in the dark
May be caused by a spark
Of electricity
Running through the city
Now I am getting giddy
Of all this techno babble!

Look carefully
Behind the door
If you dare
You may get a scare!
