~
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

I used to have a high school English class of effervescent drama students. When it rained, they were overcome with delight, and had to race outside to dance… You’ve just got to appreciate that kind of theatrical enthusiasm to life! lol

magical, anything on earth could turn into something precious if we are mindful and take it beautifully.
blessings,
you daughter is cute.
That is so cool that your daughter helped with this one. I love it!
I like the fact that your daughter joined you in the writing of this poem. I love the rain and I embraced the ambiance of sights, sounds and smells as you took me along with you. Thank you!
Everything always smells so fresh after a good rainstorm.
Happy rain dancing, Luna!
Your wild side at its best… š
beautiful colab……we dont get summer storms but we do get summer rain and i love it so much..
Getting drenched in the rain is fun indeed! Can feel the rain myself š
What a happy poem. I too know the joy of playing in heavy rainstorms. š
You’ve captured well my love of walking in the rain. Pleasing, cleansing the world, the thick air an appetizer for what follows.
