Beautiful sunny days
That give way
To dense white clouds
Turning shades of gray
Then black
ZIG-ZAG
Thunderbolts Flashing!
Illuminating the sky
Wild Winds Whipping!
Palm fronds flying!
Drenching rain...
Downing tree limbs and wires
Trapping cars off guard
In floodwaters
Birds still sing
To them Its a shower
Drinking water
For their morning meal
We stand down
Cancel plans
Sit in the lanai
To watch the storm
We have no control
A Double Rainbow
