THUNDER AND LIGHTNING

The lightning

     and the thunder

          came to visit me.

They were quick

     and flashing

          and noisy

                as can be.

"Come along,"

     said the stars.

          "They don't frighten me."

"Cover us in clouds,

      we'll still be here

           twinkling bright."

"They don't scare us.

      We'll bravely shine

           through the night."


      My dog is frightened by thunder.  He crawls under the bed to hide.  Do thunder and lightning frighten you, or do you think of the stars instead?  Try writing a poem today about a thunder storm.  Have fun and keep cool.
