Wicked Weather
This night is haunted by Wicked Weather ~
so gather the children and huddle closely together.
Cover your ears and scream with fright
as the sky erupts with furious might.
Wild winds whisk debris round and round ~
and the heavens resonate with a terrifying sound.
The trees skeletal arms reach out to the sky
while the clouds' eyes swell and begin their cry.
Lightning strikes - in brilliant white -
energizing and illuminating this ominous night.
Thunderous booms send shivers down the spine -
Lightning strikes again and hits a power line!
The room turns black, leaving all without sight -
and scurrying for candles, to take comfort from their light.
Raindrops pound the Earth, like a thousand wild horses ~
and ghostly howls arise from winds with gale forces.
Just when you think the storm will never end -
out comes the Sun ~ like a fair-weather friend.
