Poetry About Storms
Poetry about storms enters the charged air before rain, the sudden crack of thunder, the bright nerve of lightning, and the shelter people seek when weather grows wild.
Storms can frighten, cleanse, destroy, awaken, or pass through like a feeling too large to stay inside the sky.

Before Thunder
A poem about charged silence.
Before thunder,
the whole yard
held its breath.
Even the leaves
turned their backs
to listen.

Shelter
A storm watched from safety.
We stood inside
with warm mugs
and watched rain
remake the street.
Shelter made
the storm
almost beautiful.

After
The world after a storm passes.
After the storm,
the air smelled
newly forgiven.
Broken twigs,
shining roofs,
the world rinsed
and not yet dry.
