The summer storms
are so wild
they make me feel
just like a child
~
Thunder crashes
lightning booms
I feel the tremble
throughout all the rooms
~
I run outside
I skip and dance
the thunderstorm
puts me in a trance
~
Childlike glee
comes over me
I raise my arms up high
and scream at the sky
~
The rain sweeps in
all I can do is grin
as I become
soaked to the skin
~
The summer storms
break the skies
the exquisite smells are abound
as I sing and dance around
Summer storms please come back soon
you make me want to swim with joy

Lovely poem, I wanted to come along and join you 🙂
Dear :Luna
I loved it specially to see the joy of the child hood running a continuous stream through the whole verse … I have loved rains and it brought back the joys of my childhood.
I loved the idea of getting it penned with the help of your daughter so lovely…
